I just bought a NOS Crystal timer from the MTFCA. VERY COOL! Is anybody running one of these?

I have and liked it. Fun to watch the sparking at night. I had to buy a new replacement ring because the old potmetal ring wouldnt fit after 80 years. It did not last as long as I had thought, the glass chiped away at the metal contacts and I replaced it with a nos flaper style timer that is still going strong after 8 years.

We have a limited supply of these and they come in the original box. We’ll have some for sale at the National tour in Wisconsin.
