[QuadList] My Weekend Puzzle for 3/25/11

[Chill315 at aol.com]

So far we know that it is not the following
 
Recortec    
    Why, the switches are in the wrong position and the  Recortec timers 
always looked different
 
Merlin
    Why, they used the Ampex housing for the  timer.
 
CMC
    Why that was a wild guess on my part and it is  turned down.
 
Visual / Allen
    This is way past their time and Merlin took over  that business.
 
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.
 
I am stumped.  But we have eliminated a whole bunch of  manufactures.  Who 
is left?

knowing you guys, I'm NOT holding my  breath!

I answer:

Looks  like the Recortec tape timer to me.
