Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Today I have found a nice looking CZ1000 like a new one in the nearest  
recycle shop, in junk department  proclaimed as non working. Price was  
4.6 USD, so I couldn't leave it there.

Using proper adapter at home I could make it work on the first switch  
on. I'm quite sure that instruments have a soul and can feel they are  
in good hands. So far so good.

Everything is OK, but power connector board is probably somehow  
moving, or there's a cold contact on the connector itself - when I  
move with it, sometimes instrument switches off. Opening the  
instrument will probably take more time than the repair :-)

There's a small coin battery in the holder inside the battery  
compartment, it looks like previous owner did this modification to  
keep data when power off. I don't like similar amateur looking mods so  
will think twice if to leave it there or remove.

The next step will be replacing the display for modern one with LED  
backlight as I did with my CZ3000.

Merry Christmas!
