Hi Ralph:
These are as outdated as spark ignition.   They are available occasionally, but at highly inflated prices and are mostly clapped out.
I can highly recommend the bandburner electric timers from BMK. The only drawback I can find is that they have to be started from hand launch of model rather than starting on release from towline.

I use them in my E 20 Blizzard model due for publication in June Aeromodeller.
If you really want to go elite try RDT (radio released DT)   https://bmks.co.uk/products/bmk-remote-dt-b1

Hi John,

thanks for the information, I am trying to go old school with this and was hoping to get a timer from the bottom of some ones drawer.

I must see if I can get a hold of the June Aeromodeller, would be great to see the article.

Hope you are keeping well and good to see you are still flying.

All the best, Ralph

Did a quick root-around in the deep jungle and came across a bunch of timers. They have not been used in many years and are a bit dusty and cruddy.
I'll pull out a DT timer for you and will send it on. I'll do a quick clean-up on it, but you may have to do a bit more work on it.
Send me your postal address to spinifex@eastlink.ca
