    Techno-Archeology: TimeLine Product Documentation and Upkeep

    Documentation: Cable Schematics - Lynx 2 Next up- the Cable Schematics (a.k.a Schemos) for the Lynx-2. As explained in the last post all the cables that hook up a Lynx-2 are specific to a given ATR/VTR/DTR Transport, and are custom-made. The situation that eventually developed was that the...

    Techno-Archeology: TimeLine Product Documentation and Upkeep

    Documentation: Cable Schematics - Lynx 1 Next up- the Cable Schematics (a.k.a Schemos). This post is mainly a placeholder until we can figure out if there were any cables that the Lynx 1 used that were not used by the Lynx 2. Because almost all the cables that hook up a Lynx-1 are specific to a...

    Techno-Archeology: TimeLine Product Documentation and Upkeep

    Documentation: Service Manual - TimeLine/Alesis AI-2 So here's something you won't find everyday, it's quite possible that it is the only version available online. 1. This is a rather poorly-made PDF of the original paper version (TimeLine revision dated 05/23/1994). The page order is...

    Techno-Archeology: TimeLine Product Documentation and Upkeep

    Excellent point, might as well try the renaming route to test it out. Edit: Good 'ole notepad confirms the file appears to have been unmolested by the upload, and the servers let it through after renaming- so yeah, we've got it solved! Keep It Simple Stupid- Bill!

    Documentation: Service Bulletins - Microlynx So now let's turn our attention to the Service Bulletins.

    Techno-Archeology: TimeLine Product Documentation and Upkeep

    Sadly, the TimeLine company is no more (they closed shop sometime in 2000 according to Bloomberg). In their day they produced some excellent products for the synchronization of various pieces of professional and semi-professional studio gear, particularly Analog Tape Recorders (ATR's), and...

    Micro Lynx + Tape Deck + DAW

    A modest gift in return for the community OK, thanks once again miroslav, and the least I can do is re-title some of your gift of the PDF's so that we won't have to open every file to at least know a little of their contents. My sleuthing sense is getting heightened by what the files do, or do...

    Fabricating Timeline Micro Lynx Cables, Take 2

    Anybody have the original schemo's/pinouts for cables for the Microlynx? I'm attempting to sync up a Tascam MSR-16, and an Otari MX5050 MKIII-8 (the last revision with the 50 pin and 34 pin blue Honda connectors), and am having no luck finding documentation online.
