<DIV>With all the mentions of TS-40 switchers, it made me dig out some old
pictures from the early 70's. At that time, I was working at an
educational facility. We had more time than money, and we got a large
TS-40 that came from a military facility where it had been a router. We
rebuilt the parts of it we needed, added an appropriate mix amp and SEG, even
fabricated our own joystick assembly for the wipe positioner, and put it all
together with a new control panel. It didn't look like a TS-40 anymore
(well the racks did) but it served us very well. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now for bonus points, who knows what the SEG is?</DIV>

<DIV>Shortly after that, encouraged by our fabricating experience, a couple of
us got into the business of building audio consoles. I found some of our
promotional pics of the prototype in the same batch with the TS-40. Now
for even more bonus points, can anyone identify any elements that may have
come from either RCA or Ampex? </DIV>
