Any analog computers?  I recall fooling with such a beast made by Heathkit
many years ago.  Capacitors, inductors, resistors and patch cords, all on
banana plugs and a pretty good-sized tabletop box with a bunch of
(vacuum-tube) op-amps and a clock.  Add a 'scope or an X-Y recorder and
you're in business!

I recall that Argonne National Labs had a hybrid computer that they'd
developed and were very proud of at around the same time.
