<P>Hello Chris,</P>
<P>OK, I see now. I thought you were in Maryville also. No there wouldn't be any point in driving down from Detroit.</P>
<P>Do you want the machine? If you do, I will bow out.</P>
<P>Otherwise, if there are no other interested parties, we can make the trip.</P>
<P>Yes, that thought crossed my mind. We need some TK-290 manuals. Been looking all over for a complete set. No luck.</P>

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

<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>

<DIV>When would you be doing this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>

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

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