Author Topic: MagnaTech 2000 Series dubber manuals.. Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-23-2008 02:01 PM                     Anyone have a spare copy laying around? I have tried the links in the "Manuals" section here, but keep getting a message "Cannot Open" despite using the latest browsers and Adobe reader... Edited to add: I would like to BUY a copy from someone, not borrow to avoid any misunderstandings over return timeframes. Or maybe Brad can give me insight as to what I need to do to get the download to work...I've never had trouble getting any other manuals.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I will look at it when I get home in a couple of hours.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-23-2008 05:06 PM                     Thanks Adam!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

No Phil, you don't need to post here.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-23-2008 08:36 PM                  Huh? Grand-Poopie-BAH, your post is like my ceiling...over my head... ***IF*** you're referring to Adam's "service"... I've always found it to be "adequate"... YIKES! (I KNOW I'll PAY for that comment at some future time! HA!)  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-23-2008 09:09 PM                     If you need the schematics you have to purchase the service manual from MagnaTech  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-23-2008 09:19 PM                     Oh, man, what have I started here? Phil, you never disappoint me.. It was only after I saw Brad's post I realized I had left a loaded statement out there. I thankfully have a possibility of getting the connection pinouts locally, or I'll have to pay M-T for it....  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-23-2008 09:25 PM                     Oh geez you did it again. You really need to watch what you say around the children, Tony. And by children, I mean Phil.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Phil can make ANYTHING dirty. Phil: I thought I saw you on Santa Monica Blvd. last week. David: I would appreciate getting those pinouts from you..were the units you dealt with equipped with Magn-Tech control modules? (The same ones as shown in the online manual?) Could you PM that info or do we need to go thru the postal syatem? PM me and we'll arrange it, I can pay for the postage/copies. Gordon: Thanks for the heads-up. These units are equipped with the same M-T controls as shown in the manual here on F-T (many thanks again to Adam and Brad for that)as are the pre-amps. So hopefully there won't be compatibility issues. But there is always the possibility of surprises.. The dubbers I'm dealing with were actually set up nicely, both the audio and the Interlock busses were set up on umbilicals with ELKO(?) connectors ( The rectangular kind with gold, flat pins and made in up to 91+ pin versions) and really cool engraved wall plates with the mating sockets. I have one installed at UC Irvine and one is currently in my garage in storage. Once I get the encoders installed and this thing operational at UC Irvine, I'll put up pics in the Pictures section for all to see. Thanks to everone helping me out with this, and to Phil for the comic relief.  |  IP: Logged
