More on the timers

biomekanic · 09-08-2004, 08:44 AM

In case anyone wanted more details:
Intermatic Heavy Duty Digital Timer
Battery Back Up (batteries included, and already installed)
Batteries are good for 3 years
Grounded plug and grounded receptical
Random setting option (not recommended for wavemaking: 5 to 60 minutes on, up to 4 times a day)
Up to 14 on/off settings
Manual override switch
15amp load:
1875W 120V AC "R" resistance and/or "H" resistance
500W "T" Tungsten 1/3HP 120V, 60Hz (and this is all Greek to me, but I assume it means it can power your 1/3 HP chiller, or up to 1875W of lights).
The receptical is located on the bottom left hand corner of the unit.
$4

where abouts did you find this contraption for 4 dollars? sounds like a really good deal

Jerry's, it's a local "home depot" type store, there's two of them down here (one in Eugene, the other in Springfield). I went in to pick up some glue for fragging and they were on the "bargain bin" table. They're down to about 20 or so, I picked up 9 more last night (6 for people here, 3 more for me). If you're going to be at the meeting, I don't mind snagging some more and bringing them up.

You did get me down for 3 of them correct?

Thanks again

hey mike, i could use like 3, i will not be at the meeting (selecting tuxes for the wedding with my best man sunday), but if you want to hold on to them, or ship them to me, i will be more than happy to paypal you for them either way.

let me know.

James: yep, there already in hand.
Krux: Would you be able to send the money with someone? I don't do paypal, I had a Bad Experience(TM) with them.

Ryan, if you want me to get them for you, no problem. Would you get me 3 as well, thanks.

The good news:
The timers normally retail for $20, these were (notice the tense) on sale because they didn't come with the backup batteries.
The bad news: By the time I was able to make it back, they were all gone.
So, for everyone else who asked for some, I'm sorry I wasn't able to get there in time. I'll keep my eye out for more though.

Its all Good... Thanks for getting me atleast the 3 of them.. LOL..

Thanks again,
James
