Dave is correct. and even  when in Vegas  the move can   bring down more 
hell on it even if you have it working before it gets there. It  is indeed a 
big bucket of worms that would take a large staff and lots of $$$  and yet... 
could still fail in the end. 
 
We shipped  big racks of computer equipment around the word when I had  the 
computer business and there was no guarantee it  would arrive and   work 
many times a  field service person went out  to   pull  a fix,
 
Heh Heh and we  were talking out stuff with IC's not TUBES!
 
So I guess the advice is... prepare to spend a fortune and prepare to still 
 fail miserably.

Chris,

We have pondered resurrecting our unit at times over  the years for a  
working display such as NAB (the last opportunity  was for the 50th  
anniv. of 2"). We figured that to do it right, it  would take a  
dedicated work space i.e. small warehouse and about six  months of work  
with some dedicated personnel. That also would mean a  cache of  
replacement tubes, transformers and capacitors. And that is  with the  
surplus parts resources of the LA area. Consider also the  power  
consumption: 51.5 amps (per the TRT book)for five racks plus  5.4 amps  
for the color rack. Heat is a factor also. If we were  successful in  
bringing a machine to showroom status, how long would  it last? Then,  
the unbelievable thought of taking it all apart and  moving it to  
Vegas, where one does not always have the luxury of  handling their own  
equipment (The Teamsters get involved). Then, you  have to have  
adequate power, floor space, security, and a week to  put it all  
together again. If it does work for four days, then it's  all pats on  
the back, handshakes, and "attaboys". Tear it all down  and away it goes.

It's a project for a group who have a lot of time and  money, in my  
opinion.

David
