 Not right now. I have just about everything I own packed up and in storage
in anticipation of an up coming move, but as soon as I get a chance I'll
send you a copy.

  I sent a link to your picture of the 3500 to the person at Brookhaven
National Laboratory that was in charge of the 1997 recreation of the
Higinbotham "Tennis For Two" demonstration. He is anxious to find
a rack mounted Donner model 30 to be a part of a permanent display.
The problem is that the model 3500 are much more common and
easier to find.
