At a auction today I got a lot that had a Canberra Series 35 Plus model 3502
something in it? I checked google and really found knowing that help figure
out what this unit is? Anyone have a glue? Thanks

It's a multi-channel analyzer (MCA) used mainly for statistical counting
in the nuclear field. Basically, they sort pulses by height (voltage,
and by implication energy) into 'bin', and plot the number of pulses in
each bin on the CRT.
I've got a later model, scintillators and all that pointless rot.
They're fun toys.
If in good shape, they're worth some hundreds to $1500. It's old, 80s?
but functinoally usable. I haven't kept up with the tech, check out
www.oetech.com. He may buy it (for the lower end price, he tests and
resells) and may be interested in other stuff line NIM and CAMAC format
gear. Don't expect to get rich.
I may be interested in NIM gear (modules about 8" high x 2" wide that
slide into a rack chassis with a funny blue amphenol on the back) or
other stuff. Radiation spectroscopy is a hobby of mine.

Big sigh maybe. I just tore apart a Hamner Linear Ratemeter module,
model NR-10 that fits the description you gave. I do have the front
panel intact if it is something you might find useful, and probably the
rest of the chassis in pieces (scrap aluminum/gold.) The boards
themselves were probably taken out with the trash last week.

Funny you should mention NIM crates... we have a quantity of them as part
of the AMANDA neutrino detector. No... there are no plans to get rid of
them, but at least I know exactly what you are talking about.
