Hey guys! Long time no post for me, but i still visit often and
appreciate the dialogue.

i have a Trident 80c that needs to come out of a basement. No one
knows how it got in there in the first place, but it may have involved
tearing out staircases. i had a quick look at the frame and it seems
like:

1) the legs unbolt and are held together by a long square steel tube
that runs across the underside of the console (which unbolts from the
legs)

2) the long wooden beam across the back and the top bolster will unbolt

3) there are points where the metal "buckets" appear to join between the
20th and 21st channels, and again between the last monitor channel and
the patchbay

Has anyone tried or been able to dismantle this thing so the 3
"bucket" sections can separate and be carried up the stairs? How are the
busses on the channel backplane boards connected together across the
seams (are they on connectors or hard-wired)?

If you are lucky you have a "splittable" 80c & you can completely
dismantle it (take photo's). I have come across both types. It is also
worth removing all the the blond ash woodwork, this makes it easier to
maneuver the frame & you can have it re-polished while you have the desk
dismantled. It comes up a treat!
