Apparatus and methods are provided for inspection of a tire for hidden irregularities and defects. The apparatus includes a remotely located control console to protect electronic components from contamination and debris associated with tire retreading and from mechanical vibration associated with handling and inspecting used tire casings. The apparatus includes a tire supporting and rotating assembly, a receiver control assembly, a moveable transmitter assembly for directing energy against a tire and a movable receiver assembly to receive energy passing through the tire. Components of the mechanical system used to control movement of the receiver assembly are spaced from components of the mechanical system, which support and rotate the tire.
