<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello Tim (and all),
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I don't recall if any of the transformers have PCB issues, but be
aware.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We moved two and one-half TRT 1's over 2,500 miles.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best of luck!</DIV>
