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!

Mark

I have som blueprints of schematics dated 10-25-74 and 4-24-75 and others with no date provided. The blueprints are 17" x 22"

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.

Thanks,
Mark

Is this the automation with the glass-enclosed "timer" (looks like a vacuum tube) that, after the show end cue goes through, shuts off the projector motor?

No its not that one. It is the pre interlockable AM-5 though.

Yes, POWER is K10. This Blueprint is 8.5" x 11", so I could try faxing it to you - free of charge. Drawing date is 5-8-75.

Hi Eric, Sounds like the right one. It would be much appreciated!! Will IM you my fax number.

Thanks!

Just curious if I got you the right schematic?

It was! Many thanks. The interlocks are all working fine. Kelmar doesn't even have that drawing!
