I could probably answer most questions. I have two EC-1s.

I have both manuals for EC-1 on CD. I could send you a scan
of the cover from both manuals, but there is not a picture of
the computer on the covers. The EC-1 first appeared in the 1960
catalog. Unfortunity, I can seem to find any of Heath catalogs
after 1959.

The Heath Electronic Analog Computer (ES-400 is the model
number of just the cabinet kit) was advertised in their catalogs
from 1956 to 1959. I have about half of the kit manuals for
this computer, and no computer.

I'll ask, John; what -is- the *exact*

computer assembly and user manuals?
When contacting Heath manual replacement service, you just need
the kit model number.
