The Analog Computer Museum's Collection

This machine, the Telefunken RA 770, is, in my humble oppinion, the best and most fascinating electronic analog computer ever built by any company. With this machine a dream dating back to the days of my childhood finally came true.
This is another one of my personal favourites: The first analog computer ever made by TELEFUNKEN. This machine is the one and only engineering model which was created from 1955 to 1956 by TELEFUNKEN (Ulm).
The TELEFUNKEN RAT700 analog computer - this was the first of TELEFUNKEN's very successful table top analog computers.
The TELEFUNKEN RA741 analog computer.
The TELEFUNKEN RA742 analog computer - this was the last of TELEFUNKEN's very successful table top analog computers.
The TELEFUNKEN OMS 811 dual beam oscilliscope. This oscilloscope was especially designed to be used in conjunction with TELEFUNKEN's transistorized analog computers. It features two channels with independent x- and y-deflection as well as synchronisation mechanisms for camera control, etc. Here you can find some notes about the restoration of such an oscilloscope.
The TELEFUNKEN DEX102 "Digitalzusatz". This was a digital extension for the RA742 table top analog computer. Both devices together build a small hybrid computer.
The Hitachi-240 analog computer. This system has 40 chopper stabilized operational amplifiers and a lot of special functions, but is quite a challenge to repair and maintain.
The EAI TR-10 analog computer. This is the first transistorized table top analog computer built by EAI (1961).
The EAI-2000 analog computer. This is one of the last analog computers built by this famous company. It is a rather small hybrid computer system featuring a built in digital prozessor with a control terminal which allows complete control of the digital part as well as the analog part of the machine.
The Dornier DO-960 analog computer. This system is one of the most sophisticated analog computers ever built.
The Dornier DO-80 analog computer. The smallest system built by the German manufacturer Dornier.
The Solartron Analogue Tutor. A small tube based system intended primarily for educational purposes.
Some General Dynamics analog computer modules which have been used in the control of a nuclear power plant.
The MEDA 43 analog/hybrid computer. This machine was designed and built in the former czechoslovakia and found widespread use in the countries behind the iron curtain.
