Thank you for accepting me on this forum. This is only to advise anyone looking for a Feder 504 timer, that I have unearthed what I believe to be one, in my attic. Due to changing circumstance I will have to pop it on Ebay UK soon, for sale in the UK as I would not trust such an item through world wide Customs these days. A car engine I sent to the USA had to be labelled EXPLOSIVE DEVICE very clearly on every side!
Anyway, this timer is in unusually good visual condition and the clock ticks but I don't know if the rest is working. It winds up OK and the clock sets but I have not seen a movement from the firing pin but I may have accidentally locked it or not reset it, assuming such a device could be reset. If it did its job it probably would not be there to reset. It certainly is a superb bit of engineering.

There should be FOUR photos here but when I review I only see two. Sorry.
