The new timer was $97 USD. Next time I'll check locally for repairs but
it
sounds like replacing it isn't too bad.



Y'know, if you had a soldering gun, you could probably solder that old
copper contact disk back in place. If you could use a fold back paper
clip or something to hold it in place while you heated it up, you might
be able to fix that old timer yourself.




Hi,
If that was the only problem. Even one can splice new contact blade in
with soldering.
If there is a will, there is a way. Way back in lolden days Remember
StrogerEMD phone
exhcange system? Rebuilding relays, contacts were routine maintenance
all the time.
