There is an interesting analog computer for sale in the current auction at the University of Texas in Austin. EAI model TR-20. The auction uses online bidding which ends on Friday Sept 20 for this item. The current bid price of $35 might be just for salvage value for the materials.

Searching the internet leads me to think that this computer might be from the 1960s or 70s. These computers where programmed with jumper cables and knobs. I understand that these computers were used to solve complex mathematical problems with analog electrical signals and that the output could be recorded on paper with an analog plotter.
