Timers and Time
Hello Richard well as you know now these timers don't repair themselves they only get worse, this fault is almost a design flaw in the stepper motor drive, it is made of hard nylon and can wear to the point that it no longer advances the timer, the later range of timers used metal in place of nylon and rarely if ever suffer this fault.
If you were closer I could do your timer or Mat in Cardiff could, but the problem is unless you can find some one that is willing to come to you in Leeds who has experience of changing these its not going to happen.
You might have to visit one of the group members and swap it out for a while.
I remember that ever since you have owned this machine you have wanted it looked at, well the thing is if such an arrangement can be made then the whole machine can serviced, suspension, motor, belt,bearings and anything that needs looking at.
These are very good machines but not designed to run forever with out any maintenance, so you need to get your head around this and also the possibility of taking it somewhere within the group.
If you can hang on about another 5 weeks till after Christmas then something can maybe be arranged.
Gary
