What type of control is it? Can you point us to a picture? Is this
the part that adjusts the clock?
What brand stove/oven? Can the shaft be readily removed from the
timer? Are you sure it''s pot metal? Zinc or aluminum? definitely not
ferrous?

A) Clock/timer functions
B) I've not found any; have to take one a post link...tomorrow, maybe.
C) Yes, and all the timed operation functions and timer
D) mid-80s GE -- specific parts unavailable(*)
D) "Readily?" probably not. Theoretically possible? Maybe...
E) Yes/Not Al/Yes

(*) In past there's been listed alternate electronic module altho I've
not checked whether it's still available or not.
Provide actual model number please.

GE JBV42G

I did go ahead and order one of the electronic replacement modules just
to have on hand if all else fails while they're still
available...ordered the magnetron some time back to stick on shelf--the
unique item with these ranges is the microwave is the full-size oven
itself and the kitchen in the old farm house simply has no room to put a
free-standing microwave...so, having that feature that is no longer
available by any manufacturer is _a_big_deal_ in keeping it.
