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> </div><div><span><HCSTV TS40 sml.jpg></span></div><div> </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.
