A couple of people have asked why I am considering a TBC - Actually, it is
an academic question since I plan to restore my machine to original specs.
For my purposes installing a modern TBC would be like dropping a chevy
automatic into a 1949 MG; effective, but kind of missing the point of buying
the beast in the first place.
But I wondered about whether the addition of an outboard TBC would make the
older machines a better alternative than a newer AVR-1 or AVR-2. The AVR1
used to be able to play back a lot of substandard tapes which would not lock
on a 1200 or 2000. But an AVR-1 is an immense beast and both use custom IC's
and other unobtainium parts,
Chris Hill has pointed out that perhaps taking the output of the AMTEC would
be a good starting point. Is that feasible, or would you have to go later
into the chain?
Don and Park mention the Merlin mod- It seems to lock up quick as a bunny,
and obviously does a good job with the video - Is the mod solely the TBC or
does it go into the servos as well? What exactly did the mod involve?
Cheers,
Doug
