That timer was problematic - the replacement electronic timer is an
excellent way to keep the unique oven functional for years to come.

How so? Has worked for nearly 40 years... and the timer/clock itself is
still fully functional; just lost the handle. Pliers work, but are
somewhat inconvient, the missus says...
I just read they were known to be a problem. Yours has worked well,
but apparently some didn't.

What you basically need is a knob about 3/8 inch long with a long
hollow shaft to fit over the 1/8 inch stub that you can epoxy on -
right? How much of the 1/8 inch shaft do you have left to work with
(that you can slip the new shaft over)?

Well, I just got the new electronic module installed -- none of the
supplied mounting hardware comes even close to matching this oven; had
to modify the existing bracket to align the controls with the existing
knob locations by over 1/8" -- fortunately was enough material to file
out the hole locations enough.

It looks somewhat out of place with the rest of the range but one will
eventually get used to it; the big surprise is that the problem with the
oven cleaning cycle I had never been able to diagnose the cause for the
oven lock solenoid to not lock to start the cycle appears to have
actually been that set of contacts in the clock module -- so there was a
failure there that I had not previously attributed to the clock.

So, not only do have working handles/manner in which to set the
clock/time conveniently again, got the self-cleaning function back again
as well as a bonus!
