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

Take the TR-3 at the same time as it could serve as a spare parts bin for  
both machines.  If all you are going to do is move the machine, then the  
station can provide the muscle to load.  And you hopefully have the unload  
muscle at your end.  I live in the Detroit area so to just do muscle is a  
little bit extreme for driving a lot.  Now since I am retired, I have no  
problem with spending a week or so to get the machine working again.  

The one thing that has to be done very carefully is to make sure the  
interconnect harness between the main racks and the servo racks does not get  
damaged.  It will take a long time to rebuild that.   The machine  may have 
been upgraded to Pixlock and ATC.  That is something we can  ask.  

They may have other things in the storage area.  Who knows what may be  
there?

Well, most any day, if and when the station gives the OK to come pick it  
up. Randy decides the day since he is the one making the trips. 
Right now, I am working on a TR-70c restoration. It is a basket case. Wires 
 cut, pieces missing, you name it.We have gathered enough parts together  
...finally. I will be on this project probably for another year. At  least. 
Maybe you and Randy ought to figure it all out. Between the three of us,  
and TAMIS archive, it will find a good home with one of us for sure.

When would you be doing this?

The other thing is do you have a place to start or would this be a move  
and then months later get into the restoration?

I have been to WFIE and the folks are the nicest in the world.  That  is 
the great thing about the Midwest.  Good salt of the earth  people.

Great! Sounds like a plan. Actually, our driver lives in  Maryville.  You 
want to go with him and load it up?

I would be glad to help restore it.  I know that machine backwards  and 
forwards.  It would have a home and that is the important  thing.  The biggest 
thing will be getting the capacitors and  tubes.  As long as the deck is in 
good shape, it will work.

Besides, my ancestors come from Maryville.  My 5 great Grandfather  was the 
first clerk of the court for Bount County in Tenn.

Hello Tim,
I (we) are available to move the machine to the  TAMIS archive if it is 
available, and restore it to operation.
We have  several TRT parts, books, video heads, etc.
We also have a full time  driver and moving van at our disposal.
Thanks for the info,

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
