Hi, Ed,

Module model numbers are very helpful and likely necessary, since there  
may be variations on a theme.

Also, boards may have been modified (or not modified) after manufacture  as 
updates or field bulletins were issues.

For other items:

One resource that may be helpful in finding  links to support is the old 
Grass Valley knowledge base:
_http://grassvalley.novosolutions.net/default.asp?id=227&Lang=1&SID=_ 
(http://grassvalley.novosolutions.net/default.asp?id=227&Lang=1&SID=) 

Checking  it, I didn't find anything on the 3240 series.  However, a link 
under  "Legacy Products>Routers>Ten-XL turned up this  page:

http://grassvalley.novosolutions.net/default.asp?id=967&Lang=1&SID=
Where can I find any documentation on the GVG Ten-XL  video routers?   
Ten-XL manuals  that are no longer available from Grass Valley Group may be 
ordered  from MSI at 916-631-7400. Please use the TP (Technical  
Publication) number when ordering the manual.

The same  page also notes:

 (http://www.msimail.net/) Are the boards to add audio to the unit still 
around.  If so, how would we acquire the parts?  The  Ten-XL series is now 
supported by our Service Partner, Effective  Engineering in Burbank, CA. Please 
contact them by phone at:  818-841-4437 or by e-mail at:

Effective Engineering's website notes:

On December 12, 1999, Effective Engineering  in the LA area began handling 
support for Grass Valley's legacy products  beginning with the 200 and 250 
switchers.

_http://www.effeng.com/gvg.html_ (http://www.effeng.com/gvg.html) 

They  do advertise parts only support for the 3240 proc amps and a number 
of other  older equipment.

Largent Video in Grass Valley  is another possible resource:

Hope this is of some help, now or in the future as people acquire more  
legacy GV stuff.
