Welcome, ncchuck!
Glad to have you join, post up pics of your computer if you can.

We have photos of the leg computer in our Gallery.
I dont' see a red sticker... did they put black electrical tape over the Sharp logo?

Welcome aboard!

Good question. I was wondering about these stickers as well. But how about using simple chrome labels to cover the logos?

On some photos, it looks like they've used something like that, at least on the EL-5804 type...

Oh, and by the way: TWO WORKING EL-5804's are on eBay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-New-Sharp-EL- ... 4166620a5c

I know about the rarity of these calculators, but the price is still a bit high if you ask me.

Nevertheless, please keep us updated on your project, ncchuck!

These photos were taken from a leg computer made by Chris Pappas and are very accurate.
