I received this email this morning.
============ Begin Paste ============
"Dear Sir,
I will soon take a new position at the University of T"ubingen,
Germany.
The department has still an analog computer build by "Electronic
Associates Inc.", Type EAI 2000 which was purchased in the mid seventies
and seems to be ready to work. The original handbooks are also
available.
I have no further use for this device and therefore I am trying to find
a museum or a collector who is interested in this machine. Any
suggestions would be welcome."
=========== End Paste ===============
This computer is located at the Max-Planck-Institutes in Tuebingen,
about 40 km from Stuttgart.
I don't have any information about this model, so I have no idea how
large this computer may be. I'm leaving it up to intereted parties to
check this out. If someone in Germany is interested in this computer
or is willing to check it out and arrange shipping for someone else,
please contact me. I'll pass your name along and send you the email
address. I'm hoping to just pass one name along, hopefully someone
local. But if you are interested but not local, email me anyway.
You maybe you will be the closest.
This may be a decktop unit, but I really doubt it. In the 70's, EAI
was moving more to hybrid computers, so this computer MAYBE one that
can be interfaced to a digital computer, I just don't know.
I don't have any interest in this computer because of the cost of
shipping to California.
