Glen,
Instead of a wind-up timer, would one of the 110 volt electric timers from a
hardware store work? These are also available, I believe, at stores like
WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot and other stores with home repair items. The
kind that I have plug into a wall socket and you can either switch it to
"ON" all of the time that the switch is in that position or slide it to the
"TIMER" position. This has a 24/7 clock type timer on the dial which you
can set the individual hours that you want the timer on or off.
I used one on our waterbed when the heaters thermostat broke, both heaters
worked but the thermostat refused to. The timer worked great.
There are different types and amps. capable timers. Sorry, about the power
description here, I am totally electrically inept.
Just wondering if this might be easier and possibly less work and expense.
