[Avid-L2] Re: OT: Grass Valley 110 switcher tally lights

Much to my dismay the GVG website didn't seem to or I couldn't find the manual. They seem to have passed of most of the old switchers to outside vendors for support. Not very Grass Valley like from my past experience. Here's the 100/110 support link they provide:
Our Service Partner, Effective Engineering in Burbank, CA provides long-term support for this product. Please contact them at 818-841-4437 or at gvgservice@effeng.com

I help out a local non-profit with their studio shoots and recently their old Echolab switcher gave up the ghost. Fortunately they received a donation of an old Grass Valley 110 switcher just in time. Unfortunately it came without a manual and I'm having no luck in sorting out how to hook up the tally lights to the Sony camera control units. The Sony's want a contact closure to light up and while I see a group of pins on the back of the Grass Valley labeled Tally I'm not measuring a voltage or a contact closure from any of the pins labeled 1-8 and the pin labeled ground.
