Default Homebrew Analogue Computer

I came across details of the Elektor "Chaos Machine" recently, which is a construction project for an analogue computer to show the behaviour of the Lorenz Equations. It seemed to me that this could also be done using Unilab System Alpha. Unilab System Alpha is an old educational electronics system comprising various interconnected modules. The modules are available very cheaply in quantity now, probably because they're being thrown out by schools and universities. The modules include most of the analogue computer building blocks so can form an inexpensive introduction to analogue computing. Personally I have put together a Unilab based analogue computer to display the Lorenz Butterfly. If there's any interest I can post some more details.
