[QuadList] My Weekend Puzzle for 3/25/11

[David Crosthwait]

I almost took a guess at Vamco, but I had not seen the 2" timer ever. 




Same toggle switches as your photo.

Although I've seen a number of Merlin refurbed machines, none that I recall had the Merlin timer installed.  One noticeable difference between the Vamco unit and their competition is the Vamco displays 10ths of seconds just as the mechanical timers did instead of frames which the other electronic timers displayed.
