My very old mechanical timer (two of them) died on me. The timers in the stores now are absolute junk I've bought two different brands ... one from Target and one from Walgreens. They are the kind where you lift up one of the pins to indicate the on and off times. No one off switch like on the old ones, but "outlet" and "timer on".
The first one would leave the light on all the time no matter what you did. The second time keeping part would not work ... it was a first alert timer.
I using the timers for my Christmas lights ... not for the plants ... I have the good timers for them.
I would like to see if I can fix my old timers. They are the old Intermatic "supercop" mechanical timers. They lasted a long time before they stopped working.
The only way I can get a good mechanical timer is to order it online, which is a shame, I should be able to get a friggin timer that works in a store.
So anyone out there ever fixed one of these?
Happy Holidays :hubba:
