Several years ago a guy that worked at Reading Foundry Supply in Pottsville told me he did. I don’t know his name or even if he works there anymore but you could give them a call or stop by and inquire.

Throw it out and get a new one. I learned my lesson on fixing timers running through a steam bath to shut it down.

I hate to be antisocial but a BBQ trip to help catalogue somebody's stuff may not be in the cards....

I keep pretty busy wandering through 2 small sheds, the pole barn and the two story detached garage plus the basement looking for that special thing that I put in that special place so I would be able to easily find it again.

My weekend quest to find the 24awg stranded black wire I knew I had saved was a success. I wanted it for some LED shelf lighting, had to cut the real short jumpers with the special connectors and splice in my salvaged black wire to run from shelf to shelf. Only took two hours of Friday night and one hour of Sat morning to track it down and as a bonus I also found the plastic parts bin organizer I knew I had out there too!

The kids friends used to love to come for team scavenger hunts until they got old enough to realize it wasn't a game it was just my way to get them to find my stuff for an upcoming project.

Yeah, that's how I ended up with all these pipe fittings. At some point I'll get some help for a few days, then you'll see a good list of fittings for sale- especially large ones. LOL

Gotta convert some of this stuff to cash...maybe help someone out while I'm at it
