General information
Having lost their primary 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. It was 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.
