I built one of those around 1967. I was working at a place that sold and
serviced Heathkits and I occasionally built them for others. I built the
analog computer for some researcher at Cal. It was all hand wiring with
no circuit boards, one tube for each amplifier circuit. Fun to play with
with a 'scope.
