<DIV>The picture in the brochure was of a different model. If you will
note, the cooling fan grill is in the front on the serial number 1. Not
like the one in the brochure.</DIV>

<DIV>That begs the story behind where it's been since being made in Camden.
Maybe former RCA guy Lytle Hoover has an idea. </DIV>

<DIV>Would be interesting to find out that the machine at CTL is the one in
this brochure photo:</DIV>

<DIV>The TR-3 wound up in some interesting places:</DIV>

<DIV>This is the very first TR-3 made. The serial number tells us
that. Also the MI number is not the one for the A version. That
was MI-43570-A.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So you are looking at the very first TR-3 made and sold.</DIV>

<DIV>Stumbled across this well preserved RCA TR-3 on the CTL Electronics
web site.</DIV>

<DIV>It's Serial # 3001. Any RCA folks know where in the production
run that would put it... and who might have been the first owner?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The other equipment on the archive is pretty cool.</DIV>
