Was it red LED that you pressed a button to read?

I think it was! It was my prized Casio that my folks bought for me while we were in an underground mall in Tokyo, on leave from the Philippines. This photo was taken soon after we returned to the states, in Yuba City. My Dad was the pharmacist on base at Beale from 82-86. While at Beale, he brought Chuck Yeager's autograph home for me on a sticky note after filling his Rxs. :)
