Hi all,..........
.....So here's the low-down, pads and rollers all there and in verygood
shape considering. CMC-10 though .... Argh! NO sticky keys, thank
god. Here's the interesting part, the entire tron is covered in a
white textured vinyl (not paint) and all edges are covered in an
aluminum trim. I kinda like the look. I posted some photos in the
photos section on the yahoo-Groups website for this list. But alas,
the neighbor was right, the thing has a blown power transformer. Now
the hunt begins!Ok ... who's got one? John LeVasseur
Hello John and Everyone,
Amazing Story ! Proves that "a diamond in the rough" canstill
be found these days. Thanks for sharing that account with us.I used products called "Kilz" and similar to cover musty odors
or similar in aged woodwork. A neighbor had some remodelling
to his kitchen in 2001,when the walls/studwork opened, had been
infested with mouse droppings,etc. Kilz took care of that immed.Anyway, to your Tron. Sounds like it's covered in Tolex .
What's the S/N ?? Replacement M400 transformer and SMS2
are immed. available from Streetly Electronics in the UK.
Give Martin Smith an email at : (TRONBROS@...) .Because the M400 has been sitting for ages, I strongly recommend
that the motor be removed and thoroughly cleaned/lubed.
Especially the end bushings and the motor brushes/armature.
Get some 91% IPA (not 70% or denatured), some fine Scotchbrite,
and proceed to gently clean innards. Cotton Q-tip swabs also req'd.Email me privately for additional tips. Good Luck on your
acqusition,John ! -- Jerry Korb
