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

[Don Norwood]

Following up on what David mentioned, I believe the three "central" racks which include the transport in the center, the control panel on the right, and the rec and preamps on the left, are always bolted together.  IIRC, those were not really made to be separated. 

The machines that David moved below, happen to be the first quads that I ever operated, so I have a special attachment to them and to TRT-1's, even though most all of my later experience has been with Ampex.

  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!

    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
