<DIV>So far we know that it is not the following</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Recortec </DIV>
<DIV> Why, the switches are in the wrong position and the
Recortec timers always looked different</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merlin</DIV>
<DIV> Why, they used the Ampex housing for the
timer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>CMC</DIV>
<DIV> Why that was a wild guess on my part and it is
turned down.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Visual / Allen</DIV>
<DIV> This is way past their time and Merlin took over
that business.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not Ampex or RCA as they never offered a retro fit for the early
machines. Ampex had a digital timer for the AVR-2 that was an option but
did not look anything like this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am stumped. But we have eliminated a whole bunch of
manufactures. Who is left?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Chris Hill</DIV>
<DIV>WA8IGN</DIV>
