Is anyone familiar with such a machine? Can you give details of its operation?

Roger,
Are we looking at the same machine on e-bay. If we are, no one bid on it. (see post below) That might tell us something!

Hi Ed...Yep...I saw it late in the auction and couldn't find any info. It looks nice.

It will probably be listed again. Maybe some will chime in and give us an opinion

Hi Ed...I contacted the seller and decided to take a chance. It is Swartchild and it looked very clean. I'll let you know if I made a mistake or not when I get it.

Roger,
I'm curious also. Keep me informed as to how it operates.

The timer arrived and the first thing I noticed were little silver balls all over the place. This thing uses a small amount of mercury to act as a switch. A motor spins two pins thru the mercury for the switching. The machine does not work. I'm waiting for a friend that has a tube tester to bring it over so we can test the tubes. Will probably wind up looking real nice on a shelf.

Roger

Roger,
Maybe you will be able to bring it back to life.
I'm still looking for one!
