Thanks Threemiles,
It's coming back to me now. Yes those Pratts that we operated with all the reverser problems were actually part of the JT9D family of big fans.
We got rid of them in asia since they weren't reliable for our culture (no, I can't elaborate further; had to do with inbreeding.....) GE CF6's were light years ahead in reliability and performance for us.
Forgot all about those. Pratts didn't even have a real fadec as I recall. Some scheme called PFD or PFM and MEC? or something?
can't remember now.
