[GreenKeys] ATLANTIC RESEARCH DATA TECH DTS-1-M470/483

[Dave Hunter]

Hi George:

It certainly looks and does the things the unit that Ken 
Gartland used to set my two 33 printers to factory specs. I 
am still waining to hear back from his as to if it is the 
same unit.

It was incredible, and I was quite impressed with its 
distortion tests. 

I have been keeping an eye open for one of these for ever 
since I went over to Nova Scotia to see Ken. 

He kept his unit when he retired from CN/CP 
Telecommunications.

I don't believe it has its manual. It does have the short 
form instruction sheet inside the cover.

I was very pleased to find it - it has only been on Ebay 
for a few hours, though in a search, I discovered the 
seller had been trying to find someone to buy it on 
technical exchanges off Ebay for quite some time. So even 
with $47 shipping, I clicked on Buy it Now as soon as I saw 
it!

Can't wait for it to come, and can't wait to try out the 
accessory cocktail mixer!
