-Having lost their primary West German manufacturing plant in the wake of the Atlantic Acceptance collapse, Commodore negotiated a new manufacturing arrangement with a Japanese company in 1967 such that they could resume the manufacture of adding machines.  To double down on their re-entry into the adding machine market, Commodore purchased the rights, designs and tooling for Barrett adding machines which had already been out of production for several years.  Commodore intended to use the Barrett designs as a basis of their own designs for new adding machine models.

 It was also in this year that Commodore made plans to enter the electronic calculator market but it would not be until 1968 that Commodore was able to put a product to market.
