One of my crewmembers had a copy of this TO, so I scanned some of the pictures. In previous years there was a discussion about the MSR; so I included pics of it.

The Tactical Situation Display (181 unit) and it's Signal Data Converter (920 unit) were time consuming to swap out. The seat and control stick (083) had to be removed to gain access. It took long arms to get the rear electrical connectors off and safety wired back after installation.
MA-1 folks were all contortionists.
The cockpit photos show the new Multifunction Display with it's built in photo recorder for RADAR scope recordings. Prior to that we had to open the 05 door and swap out film from remote recorder. That was one time consuming recorder. Had several video coax cables going to it to allow for a remote RADAR display. Seems like I was always having to repair the ends of the coax cables to correct distorted video recordings.
Ah sweet memories.

That must've been an older style MSR. The ones that I worked on had 8 or 10 sealed modules and tons of wire in it.

I left MA-1 in Jan 1971 and that's what we had gone to. A big improvement over the old 080 unit. PS, If I remember right the remote recorder was 049 unit.

You remember right. The 080s were pretty much modular when I was in, and the parts we changed most often were the tubes and the power supplies.

Lorin, Do you remember at McGuire, a guy named (name with held)  and I(the trainee) was given the task to remove the TDHSI from an A model. (name with held) ?? had the bright idea to have me sit in the seat, pull the stick full back and left, he would power up the hydraulic cart. When the left elevon went full up on the left wing, he said I'll put a wheel chock in the wedge opening to hold the stick back to gain access to remove the TDHSI and he would cut hydraulic power, the elevon would be held up by the chock, stick would stay back and left and removing the TDHSI would be a piece of cake. Needless to say, there was a bang, the A/C vibrated, I crapped my fatigues, and Willy and the airframe guys took the A/C to the hanger and replaced the left wing tip over night. the only evidence was a small wedge shaped indentation on the lower/outer edge of the left elevon. This story never made the newspaper, or special recognition, or a reprimand or article 15 but we lived to remember it. Were you at McGuire when we lost the saddle rack from a "B " model over on Fort Dix? Pilot reported loss of TACAN near the end of the runway. That is why the red stripes were painted on the screw line securing the saddle rack the A/C body behind the canopy. |
