[QuadList] TRT-1 and TR-3 available!

Tue Feb 8 08:59:59 CST 2011

The TR-3 was the player only version of the TR-4.  It was a mono only  
machine with no monitoring.  Even the ATC was extra.  Perhaps an RCA  person can 
tell us if any were ever shipped with out the ATC.  It could be  upgraded 
to a TR-4 by adding the monitor half rack.  That also allowed you  to add 
record electronics and make it into a TR-4.  

It was a lower cost machine that a lot of stations used for play  only.  
Since that is what most machines did.  The biggest drawback in  my opinion was 
that RCA did not have High Band in the TR-3, 4, and 22  series.  Then the 
conversion kit never had the good quality that he  VR-2000, and the TR-70 
produced.

I might be interested in the TR-3, and could pick up  both machines to 
"save"
them.  I saw some other posts about helping  move the TRT-1 to your 
facility.
We could temporarily store it here until  arrangements could be made.

Curious if the TR-3 was B&W only (I saw  a note that they were originally 
low
band only...but could be converted to  HB).

Hellp all,
I got the following email today.  I am very interested in especially
the TRT-1 but can't afford shipping at  this time (and I am running out
of storage space myself). Is there anyone  else who wants to 'rescue'
these machines? (Or move them to Reno for me,  for free ;-) )

Thanks!

Tim,

I have a couple tape machines that have been  in storage for 30 years.
They are the RCA TR-1 (5 racks total full of  tubes) and the much smaller
RCA TR-3. We have these units in storage off  site and can no longer pay
storage fees on them. Would you be interested in  these or know of
someone that might? I would rather not pitch them as they  are history.
Thanks
