[Milsurplus] TCK-4 info

[Robert Kilian]

My -3 model measures 50.5" high (not including casters) x 24" wide x 16" 
deep.

It's not nearly as heavy as a 610; I was able to move my TCK out of the 
bed of a pickup, onto a dolly, around the back of the house, and up 4 
steps into my shack by myself (it's on casters, though, which helps 
moving it around on flat surfaces).  The 610 required a hoist to get out 
of the truck and 3 people to move up the same 4 steps, for comparison.

You can find the complete schematic (including the schematics for the 
-3, missing from all of the other copies I've located) for it at
