The Texas Instruments 3500 (TI-3500) was one of the first three consumer calculators released by Texas Instruments in 1972. The other two were the TI-2500 and TI-3000. The TI-3500 is closer to the 3000, but has some additional functionality and a different color scheme, but otherwise they are pretty much the same device.
The three calculators were built entirely of American-made components, most of them produced by Texas Instruments, including the MOS/LSI calculator-on-a-chip. The calculators were manufactured in TI’s Dallas facility.
