Ha!  I used one of those in college.  I had a course in analog computing techniques.  The lab had one of those and four transistorized machines.  While everybody else was lined up three deep on the transistor boxes, I had the EC1 to myself.  (If I remember right, the EC1 had one more op-amp than the transistor boxes, which made debugging problems a little easier, too.)
