Anyone have this automation manual? Cineplex used this in a lot of their Highlight consoles.

Nope Tim...that is close but the SPA-5A was the subsequent unit that was very similar but the 5A used a card cage for the boards as well as the power module. The 5A also kept track of where you were in the show and would allow you to resume there. I think the 5A started production in 1986 and continued until Strong switched to EPRAD for CPA-10 (which was a close relation to the EPRAD Ultimation)

The SPA-5A also used slightly different modules (different numbers too) than the older SPA-5.

Thanks anyway Tim. They share a few of the same boards but the 5-A has a few more than the original SPA-5.
