Austin was right, of course.

Had to lubricate the spin collar, and replace the petrified wires on the mercury switches.

Now my AMP works like new again. It just stands there like a monument, glowing and purring as it should.

You're all still welcome to come by and see it any time, and now we won't have to work on it~!

Do we know how many of these are known to exist? I'd like to register mine as among the living again, and enjoying excellent health.

Thanks a million.

Bob

semi-coma

 timer motor went on the fritz again. geezy peezy. It did 2 loads then quit advancing.

it ain't automatico if'n the timer motor she's a no running.

ah well. That's the only spare I had.

Does anybody know if these can be sent to the timer rebuilding people, or if we have a source for them with modern replacements?

I'm confident over time something will turn up.

Thanks.

out-living

 I don't guess it's sad...I think it's ironic.

Thanks a million, Robert.

I have midwest timer in my cell phone now.
