[QuadList] Training the Third Generation

[Wayne Watson]

Head MDA
WOW I just had a flashback. When one of the MDA transistors died the head would not start if it was positioned on that phase. Give it a push and away it would go......slow to lock but I think it would play.

Here's my 2 cents.  I would think the 1200's might be the most popular, they are the easiest to fix when they needed fixing.  The AVR-2's worked great when they were working, but to troubleshoot them you had to break out the schematics, scope, etc. and have plenty of room on the floor and no other distractions, like "Air Problems". They also had a minor problem which most people wouldn't even notice till it was too late in the head MDA.  I never liked to have them on remotes.

Would you be willing to jot down some of the issues you had with AVR-2's and what your solutions were?

This could be a great help to others to help them get their machines up and running again, or recognize signs of impending problems and act before they become something more than a sign.

Are you interested in doing any maint., maint. training or operator training?

Let me know off-list.  Same request to the list in general.

Thanks,

Ted
