Yeah, the M768 module contains configurable diode arrays to control certain
operational delays, which are different between the two - one can either
change out the M768, or
The backplanes are the same for master and slave.

Thanks; that would be great. I already did find online the TU10 Maintenance
Manual (EK-TU10-MM-007), the T
I had two 7 track TU10 drives , different customers, on contract while
working at DEC. Both where used in CAD systems. I have no idea how many
where in the branch, but at our site maybe 20 to 30 % 7 track. I would
think the national average is lower.

The serial number plate just says "TU10"; and it's not in its original DEC
rack, so any label/plate there is no longer available. But the front door
says "TU10 7 CHANNEL", and the head shows 7 tra

What is the model number of the TU10? They can be 9 or 7 track. For
example TU10-EE is 9-track, TU10-FE is 7 track . (assuming 60hz/115V).

I don't know about monetary value, but it is likely to be
one of the VERY FEW 7-track drives that might be brought
back to life. There certainly should be a fe

Is there a thread with more details? I assume this is a master drive, the
cards installed indicate whether it came from a pdp 8/9/10/11. Which is

So what do people think the (monetary) value of a 7-track TU10 master drive
is? I have no idea what these older vacuum-column drives are worth - don't
recall ever seeing on for sale. This one is in good condition, and has all its
Flip Chips. The 7-track is a plus in some ways (rarer), and negative
