I'm so sorry I bought it!

There are a few that look like the same thing with different names on
them. *I have an Ingraham TE 109 that someone gave me because it's so

Yup my neighbour gave me two (electronic); cos very difficult to
program! Not only that if the power went off they had to be reset!
With an electromechanical timer at least it starts again after the
power interruption (usually, here, very brief!). In fact it's possible
to check how long the power was off by noting later how 'delayed' the
setting is!
