None.

From the constructor:
"The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was the second of four I made more
than 30 years ago with defective and scrap HPchips. This aircraft
model I made with IC,s of the Clasic and Woodstock pocked calculator
series. This model has a modified HP-67 card reader mechanism built-in
that moves up and down the landing gear, pilots' cabin and the engine
light and four intermitent tricolor leds, powered by 6 V."
