Ginsan timer repair

I know Ginsan doesn't, but does anyone else repair the older generations of GS timers (i.e.; GS-87/255, GS-255, etc...)?

I don't know of anyone who repairs the old Ginsan timers. What are you using them in? I been using the Parker Grace II timer in my vacuums for years. They work great, use a 24 volt mercury relay to control the motors and it takes the load off the timer. The timer only controls the coil on the relay. That way if a motor shorts out you don't ruin the timer.

bays... still have two installed, just replaced one with a 401. Hate to ditch the old one until I make the ole college try at getting it repaired unless it would be cost prohibitive.

They can't be repaired for the same reason we had to come out with the GS401, GS402, and GS403. The components we used to manufacture them are no longer manufactured. The base circuitry in those was designed in the late 80s.

Have you given any thoughts about joining the 21st Century and installing Dixmor LED-7 timers
