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

[David Crosthwait]

Hello Tim (and all),

TRT's are rare indeed. May I suggest to anyone who gets involved in this project that they come prepared with people and supplies. On the TRT's we moved, three of the racks were bolted together and must be moved as a unit. Plus the servo racks and color rack. There is the issue of tubes and tube covers: Each has to be secured. The harness must be precisely documented on each end when disconnected. And on and on...

I don't recall if any of the transformers have PCB issues, but be aware.

We moved two and one-half TRT 1's over 2,500 miles.

Best of luck!
