Hmm..A Texas Tronfest? Do you know just how good that sounds to those of us here in the UK? On the subject of Serial numbers. Isn't it about time that there was definitive Web based register of where all surviving trons can be registered?
Howdy, Y'all.
Oops...sorry, forgot I'm not from Texas.
There a registry on DK's site...but try getting access to it! I've been keeping an unofficial list of trons, etc, as I come across them one way or another. Most, but not all, have serial #'s; a few just the knowledge that an individual owns it w/no # available. That list presently includes:
35 MkI/II's 8 300's
87 400's (including yours, Andy) 5 MkV's
1 4-track 0 T-550's
5 MkVI's 1 JK/MKVI
3 Birotrons 5 Chamberlins (mostly M-1's)
1 Orchestron
There's also a few saved postings with machines/#'s that haven't been merged in to the list yet.
Feedback? Compiling a list is one thing - Would tron owners want this information to be readily/openly shared?
