Author Topic: Need Old AM-5 Schematic Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-10-2007 09:46 AM                     I have a booth full of older AM5's and am interlocking two of them. Have data to interface them to the Kelmar 9700 interlock modules but my AM-5's are older... SN 549 & 513. The data is no good to me. The on line Film-Tech and Kelmar web site schematics are for SN-562 on and does me no good. The older units are quite a bit different than those starting at SN 562. I also found a manual kicking around the booth circa 1975 that also does not help at all. So these are pre-1975!! Thanks!

The blueprints are 17" x 22"  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2007 12:05 PM                     Hi Eric, If your 1974 drawing has K-10 as the power relay yes, I'd gladly pay you for a copy of the blueprint. In later AM-5's the power relay is actually labeled K-11 and those AM-5's are completely different that what I have at this location... All mine are before serial number 562.

It is the pre interlockable AM-5 though.

This Blueprint is 8.5" x 11", so I could try faxing it to you - free of charge. Drawing date is 5-8-75.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-12-2007 08:29 PM                     Hi Eric, Sounds like the right one.
