<DIV>I want to save it. That is all. If you take it, I still will be
glad to help get it working. I have the books and could still tell you
just about what every control does. I also can almost do the flow and
chassis layout from memory. It was a unique machine. RCA cobbled a
lot of stuff from a number of different products. Guide servo from the
Film camera ND wheel servo. Power supplies were standard. Audio
parts were their standard modules. The proc amp was from another use then
the transistorized version was used in more than one device. The motor
power amps were originally audio amps. But it worked.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again, I will be glad to help restore it. I can spend a week or two
to get it down. If in place and with power run, it may be possible to do
it in that time if we can get the electrolytics and tubes.</DIV>

<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> </DIV>
<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> </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

<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>
