I got this Digital Experimenter XK 200 with a bunch of other stuff when I went to buy an oscilloscope from someone but he wanted to get rid of everything in the room.

It has a little breadboard that screws into the middle but I removed it just because I wanted another breadboard for something.

I've found a black version of it on eBay that comes in a little carrying case but I haven't found out much about it.

I'm assuming it came with documentation?
Would anyone know where to find the documentation?

You might try asking Elenco, seems like their model number.

I does seem to be a battery powered ICS branded version of the fancier Elenco XK 200.
I found the manuals for the XK 150, XK 500 etc. on the Elenco website but unfortunately not the XK 200.

Looking at the specs of the XK 500 I see it has a XR 2206 in it for the function generator. That would have been nice to salvage from it :)

That's why you should ask them.

The Elenco XK-200 Analog/digital trainer is supplied by Penn Foster (in the US) and International Correspondence Schools (in Canada) as a learning tool, used in completing some of the final lessons in their electronics technician course (described at this link: https://www.pennfoster.edu/programs-and-degrees/electronics/electronics-technician-career-diploma).  The trainer includes a (very modest) power supply, a rudimentary function generator, a breadboard, a bunch of jumper wires, and some logic switches.  I think Elenco valued it at around $200, but its capabilities could be obtained from various AliEpress kits for much less than that.  If you enjoy breadboarding circuits, I guess it could be convenient to have the power supply right there with the breadboard.  But it is intended primarily as a teaching/learning tool for students learning electronics, and its capabilities are reflected by this.  >Charlie
