Does anyone out there in netland know of the whereabouts of
any derelict Systron-Donner SD-80 analog computers?  OK, quit
laughing for a moment and listen!  We have one that we still
use for small physiological systems models and it's just lost
its +100v supply, which is constructed of a wonderful
collection of obsolete components.  We'd like to get a junker,
even a fragmentary one, to use as an organ donor.  Or, does
anyone have a drawer of Westinghouse 154-18 power transistors
that they'd like to clean out?  Evidently ordering a new one
causes Westinghouse to go out and start mining the silicon
upon receipt of order.  There don't seem to be any
equivalents.

Any leads on either whole or fractional computers or
transistors will be received with effusive expressions of
gratitude.  Suggestions to use a digital simulation will be
less enthusiastically greeted (actually, we're bringing one
up, but still want to maintain the analog).


Thanks in advance,
