Had a CASIO PB-700 since about 2009, got it when I hit 18 & could finally use eBay. I got one. They were going for about £50 however I got a dead one for 99p & managed top fix it. Battery leakage had rotted some traces, had to do that repair a few times over the years. Use to take it everywhere with me for years, even to Barbados after uni. Only recently got a FA-4 earlier today & fixed it this evening. I can finally save my programs. Going to find or build a plotter to connect to the interface because it would be cool to have it draw stuff. Love the old CASIO stuff.

I used to have a PB-700. Mine was also engraved with Colonial Mutual and the Melbourne phone number. It required AAs to operate even when docked, so that just seems to be by design. The backup CR battery is just to keep RAM contents while you change the AAs.

Not yet ... I got stuck trying to dismantle the cassette mechanism. I couldn't see any obvious way of getting into it, so it's been sitting on the pile mocking my incompetence. But I have been meaning to have another crack at it ...

@@Brfff Just go careful, the micro cassette recorder has a sensor soldered to the PCB I could not see & I snapped the pins off, the board would not lift in the slightest. I was able to solder it back & fix the tape drive, tuned out it was how the drive could detect went the tape was running.

Thanks, will give it a try! I still need to somehow get at the cassette mechanism to see what's wrong (belts?), but failing that I can try the command and then load from an external cassette recorder. /Brett
