John Lawson and I were wondering a short while back, how many Heathkit
ES-400 analog computers are known to still exist in the world? It's
basically the big fat brother of the EC-1.
Here's a picture:

This one was exhibited by John at VCF 3.0 but is now owned by our good
friend Hans and is residing in Munich.
There is another in the Computer History Museum's collection. And I have
just a front panel to one that I acquired several years back.
So how many other people have one of these? And what is the correct model
number? I've always known it as the EC-400, but Doug Coward's website
says it's correct model is ES-400, but then someone just came to me and
said he has a Heathkit catalog listing it as the HS-1. So I'm sure it's
either the ES-400 or HS-1, or perhaps both.
Anyway, are there any others floating around?
