![]() ![]() I Like model railroading and rebuild and refinish antique radio's and clocks. Today I am retired but still do projects. Always made things and fixed items that broke. Came from a poor background and a single Mom, never had all the stuff kids have today. We may be dinosaurs, but I wouldn't trade what I know, for what little they know (and ALL that they don't).Īs a senior manufacturing engineer, my job was to keep stuff running while innovating for constant manufacturing cost decreases. But when something breaks, they gotta buy a new one, cause they have no idea how to fix the old one that crapped-out. 'Kids' nowadays believe they're smarter than us old folks because they're whiz-bangs at working the new hi-tech devices and us My (adult) daughter asked me if the guys I work with were all as old as I am, because she told me she doesn't know anybody herĪge who knows how to fix anything.

Depending on how serious you are about getting this going, I will mention I saw a couple places that still had your model in-stock, at what I thought were reasonable prices. I'd Google around and see if you can find something active on one of those support websites (I spent a lot of time doing that, but couldn't find your model). They all start with The have extensions like 'productinfo, electronics, timers, etc. I've seen several references to old Radio Shack websites that I'm not sure are active any more. What references I could find were from over 10 years ago, and even back then people said there wasn't much available on your unit. Radio Shack doesn't have much of anything active any more. I've been waiting to see if anybody could help you, apparently not. ![]()
