WTB: TW Timer

Post by snowt » Sun Aug 14, 2022 3:28 pm

I'm interested in buying a used TW timer with brush holder. It can be worn out. I'm making a new timer for a friend's 1906 Franklin and want to use the guts from a model t ford timer. I would love to set him up with the TW design.

Please email me if you have something you are willing to part with.

Thank you.

Didn’t the maker pass away?

I can supply this brush timer part at $25 each if you are interested.
They are NOS from the 1920s.

Tom VanMeeteren, specializes in early ignition parts. I was able to get parts for Atwater Kent system. He posts here so look for a post and contact him. I won't give his contact info without his permission, but a search of the foram is easy to bring him up. He is real helpfull and is knowledeable about all makes from 1900 on.

The web site says they are now manufactured and sold by Lang's.

I think the timing indicator is made by Langs, not the timer itself?

Thanks MAG.

I bought the one above from him, but wouldn't mind a few spares kicking around.... If anyone else comes up with something.

Thanks!
