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! | |||

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 | |||

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! | |||
