Seek 120-volt timer capable of 3 minutes
[I posted this on this newsgroup because someone suggested
to me that a darkroom timer would do the trick, but I haven't yet located an appropriate model.] My plug-in popcorn popper takes three minutes to make popcorn, and when it's done, I turn it off manually. I want to plug the popper into a timer which is itself plugged into the wall and to set the timer to turn off the popper after 3 minutes. I'm sure that a timer like this exists, but I haven't found one so far on the Internet. Can you point me to such a timer? ********** 1366294709 |

I want to plug the popper into a timer which is itself plugged into the wall and to set the timer to turn off the popper after 3 minutes. There are lots of timers like this available. The only caveat is to check the amperage rating of the timer and the current requirement of your popper. The current rating will be stamped on the timer. Many of these timers are still in production and the manufacturer's web page should have the specifications. ebay is the place to look, although a wtb advert on rec.photo.marketplace.darkroom should bring a response. If you are bottom feeding then try, for instance: ebay item 7592752578 7594502902 Search for 'Mark Time' - they are the cheapest on the market. Most are 60 second timers, but some are 10/30/60 minute units. Don't pay much over $4.99 for one. Repeatability on these isn't going to be much better than +/- 15 seconds. Next are the GraLab and Time-O-Lite: both are very nice timers just to have around the house. Prices are $5 to $60 and vary for no apparent reason. Either of these is good to better than +/- 1 second. ebay 7592812846 7593236351 Many of the Time-O-Lite's have a 'repeat' feature where you just press a button to get the same time again. As suggested, try Grainger and McMaster-Carr - but be prepared to spend a lot more money. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.
