Links The "Büromaschinen Lexikon" has references to the Isotimpex company in the years 1973/74. See applicable scanned pages from 1973 and 1974.
Isotimpex is listed as: "Staatliches Handelsunternehmen, Sofia, Bulgarien, Taschapaev-Str. 51, Tel. 72 34 73-73-61. Importeuer: Berimex, Import-Export GmbH, 1 Berlin 30, Europa Center".

Comment On the back two stickers:
  • "Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Inv.-Nr.: 4698/76 Mikro" which was placed ontop of a similar sticker with the inventory number 4699/76.
  • Metallic sticker, partially missing on the left side: "Electronic calculator elka 103, Exporter: ISOTIMPEX, Power supply: 6V D.C., Made in Bulgaria" Note that the sticker really says "elka 103" rather than "elka 130"!
