<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Heh Heh and we were talking out stuff with IC's not TUBES!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I guess the advice is... prepare to spend a fortune and prepare to still
fail miserably.</DIV>

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