I have a Maytag Neptune KA407 vintage 1973 and it needs a new timer. I think the new timer part # is a 2-5001 (WP205001)...Not sure how to start removing the old timer? How does the knob come off? Any advice would sure be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

That's a nice, versatile machine.  I think almost 50 years is an impressive run for its original timer.  The NOS (new old stock) timer linked above should be good for another 50 years.  An excellent deal at $1/year and well worth it for keeping such a faithful -- indeed dependable -- machine going.
 
I have a 204499-2 Kingston timer in my DD 806 (original to the machine) that I've secretly wanted to die for 12 years so I can throw in a 204499-1 Mallory. That damn Kingston will probably end up outlasting me.
