Dropping Like Flies
Repair persons and or anyone else to do with "old school" appliance technology are rapidly going the way of the Dodo.
One thinks this is the reason so many otherwise good vintage appliances are being junked, that is if they aren't trying to be palmed off for dear money; parts for and those experienced/willing to do the repair are becoming scarce. | ||

Rebuilds.... I wish I could get the clock and timer on my O'Keefe rebuilt. Stove was once owned by Norgeway and I am guessing he probably tried to get it running. If he couldn't, then I certainly can't. | ||

Give them a shout and let us know about timer motors. | ||

The alternative might be to contact a clock repairer and suggest they branch out into timers, as they would have the dexterity and tools even if they were starting from scratch in terms of spare parts. | ||

Rebuilding older appliance timers Unfortunately Midwest Timer and others have largely quit rebuilding timers because of no parts being built to fix them with, and there is almost no demand for RB timers any longer. These events will make it much harder to keep many older appliances running in the future.
If you have a vintage appliance that you want to keep using long into the future, or one that you intend to spend time and money rebuilding, one of the first things I would look for is a good spare replacement timer. | ||
