Brookman 15RPA Arutomatic Dovetailer

[alcwell]

Does anyone know where I could get a manual for a Brookman 15RPA Automatic Dovetailer? Or has anyone any experience with this model and could give some advice?

A friend has purchased one and I am helping him to get it working. The seller said that it had been working but had gone 'out of sequence'. We have managed to get it to do what looks like the correct sequence by adjusting the position switches on the pneumatic cylinders. The dovetails are not being cut correctly but this could just be down to incorrect setup but as neither of us has ever used or even seen one working we cannot be sure if this is the case.

Click br0okmans then auto dovetailer, hope that helps.
I have the manual one but don't use it anymore as they really are a bit poor on accuracy compared with modern Omecs.

Thanks for the link doctor Bob. The info is for the manual version but I assume the settings will be similar so should help to determine if it is following the correct sequence.

I would still be interested if anyone knows where I could find information on the automatic version. Ideally electrical and pneumatic schematics but I know that is probably a long shot for an older machine.

Thanks
