Does anyone have a Century TR-4B soundhead instruction manual that I can get a copy of and Brad can scan for Manuals? There's a parts list for this soundhead in Manuals, but nothing else I can find. Thanks.

I'll get it scanned soon and get it to Brad.

Brad now has it so look for it to show up in the cue. Note, this was the original packet that you got with the R4/TR4 system so you will also get are the electroncis that went along with the system that date back to the early 1960s. The TR4B was the 2-projector system as opposed the TR4A which was the single projector system.

The R4 is the reverse scan soundhead right? If so it didn't come out till the early seventies.

That is correct...it is the reverse scan and it was dated 1970...but the electronics that went with it date back further...it was designed to work with existing systems.
