It was my concept. I still have the originals I made running in my T’s and in another club members car. Tony had recently retired at the time and was wanting to make a different type of timer and I showed him what I had and let him run with it.

Forum member “Love2T’s” has been periodically making custom orders to a carbon brush mfgr. In Wisconsin to provide both the round and square replacement brushes for TW owners. He sent an order recently.

Tony apparently took the wherefore of producing the timer rotors and bodies with him when he passed. It’s too bad no one took up the project, it really is a superlative timer, and deserves to be available to the model T community !
