Default Ancient Smiths timer for outside lights

Tim Walters wrote:
Hello. My parents have got an ancient Smiths timer which controls some
outside lights. At the moment, no matter how the timer is programmed,
the lights are on all the time, unless the timer is actually switched
off. Dad used to fiddle with it and, miraculously, it did what he
wanted. Now, for some reason, it won´t.

The timer has an override button on the left. Then there's a row on
three buttons (hours, minutes, and set). Then there´s a vertical slider
with S at the top and N at the bottom. There's a window above the
buttons where the time appears.

Thanks for any suggestions.


You dad isn't David is he ?
