quote Hotrod:
Very early ones had a different timer which had a heavy wire coming out of the center of the timer handle.
My model F has a timer handle with plug-in wiring – I was told that was a factory mod to make it fit in the case – the hard wired timers (like you describe) wouldn’t fit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an early case that nice.
The case is worth more than the motor, imo. It’s certainly more rare.
