Re: Problem with Intermatic T107-30 Timer - Running Slow

["Art" <begunaNOSPAMPLEASE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had an old Intermatic mechanical used indoors for controlling a light.
When it started running slow I sprayed the internals with WD40.  That was 20
years ago.  Still working since but I only use it on vacations.
