The Team

: The Time Machine Boost was born out of an initial vision and desire for this type of product by 

Legendary Tones (www.legendarytones.com) president David Szabados. By partnering with Robert 
Keeley, president of Keeley Electronics (www.robertkeeley.com), the two worked together on the various 
aspects of the design where each person’s talents were best suited. Every element from inside the finely 
detailed and crafted point-to-point layout, to the exterior design and layout, was carefully planned and 
executed over the course of a year. This collaborative project between Szabados and Keeley is what 
ultimately became the Time Machine Boost. Joining Szabados and Keeley for production TMB’s is 
technician and builder Tom Lindenstruth. Tom’s attention to detail, perfection, and quality inspection and 
assembly goes into every TMB built. The partnership between Szabados and Keeley and the fine work of 
Lindenstruth have created something that can be called more than just a success and future collaborations 
are planned. But with that said… 
 

Thanks are in order!

 Many ears and eyes helped the team with the creation of the Time Machine Boost – 

it’s always good to get an outside perspective especially when valid criticisms surface as they often lead to 
breakthroughs and even better ideas! So with that thanks are in order to the following people for their 
insight and input: Gary Holladay, Yamini Huigoil, Tiffany Keeley, Victor Mason, Steve McCampbell, 
Mike Mullen, Jack Orman, Scott Smith, Alicia Szabados and Anna Szabados.
