Recommend me a *sensible* scientific calculator
Right, I'm not a scientific chap. I have managed perfectly well in recent years with the scientific calculator on iOS. However, I have an upcoming exam where I will need a scientific calculator and phones are not permitted.
I have in front of me two Casios: fx85WA and fx83ES. Both are driving me to distraction and I yearn for my venerable, dearly-departed fx115N. I can't see any new equivalent on Amazon etc, but perhaps someone here has a suggestion that would fit the bill?
Required specs:
- hard keys for: 1/x; M+; MR
- answers expressed as decimals instead of chuffing fractions
- a normal, old-school lcd display instead of chuffing pixels
Yes, I'm aware that this is a bit ranty, luddite, and that I'm probably no more than a couple of clicks away from finding out how to operate all the joypads and other toot on the calculators I have to hand. But I don't want to; I just want a proper old school chuffing calculator. Thoughts?

What about an old fx-39?

I don’t need a calculator but I’m tempted myself!
Put “casio scientific” in the eBay search bar and there’s thousands to choose from! And a proper trip down memory lane.
