Doug, Kudos on the Korn complements, could not think of a better source of
congrats.
the 3500 portable you have pictured is like ours except..... it is all
disassembled in a rack mount configuration!
tried to find the manual online, do you have any plans to PDF any of this
material?
Nice site! plan to spend some more time there!
Thanks Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC

I sent this reply a couple of days ago but it never
appeared in the digest so I can only assume that
it went into the univeral bit bucket. Here it is again.

we would like to get enough stuff and some docs to get it operational.
I have the "Instruction Manual" that includes operation, servicing,
part lists, and schematics.

Ed, what model number is this?
The top three panels make up a rack mounted model 3500.
I can't see enough detail of the bottom two panels to tell
for sure, probably some kind of accessories.

it says donner 3500 as I remember. so it is
earlier than a
sysdon donner, although I remember the instruction manual
( lost probably 20 years ago during a computer exchange inc.
warehouse clean out party) said sysdon donner....
The manuals says manufactured by Donner Scientific Company
a division of Systron-Donner Corporation.
what would you folks date it at?
The manual is dated January 1960
I remember there was also a bag of little
rectangular boxes with
jack tips on them that help components also. ( again missing)
I would bet good money that the banana jacks on the patch
panel are exactly 3/4" apart. In that case you can use a double
banana plug as a component holder.
in the library here we do have a copy of the korn
and korn
book on analog computers.
Just about a month ago I got an email from Granino Korn
saying how much he like my little museum.
