APCO timer
Does anyone have any experiences with the APCO timer? Probably going to use this one on my car but would like to hear some pros and cons.

Re: APCO timer
I have never used this particular product (looks neat!), but will strongly suggest that since it is a wiper-style timer, that you put a very small smear of white grease on the rotor (not a dolop, a smear). Plan on cleaning it and regreasing every 500-1000 miles. I run an ANCO flapper-style timer and this is what I do for it and have gotten many many thousands of miles out of it. Hopefully, you will, too.
As an aside, that looks like NOS device. APCO was a big supplier of aftermarket parts. Not for certain, but if you were to sell that to a collector of timers, you might end up with enough $$ to buy a couple of new timers and let someone display that in a collection. Just a random thought...

Re: APCO timer
It's definitely a NOS timer we just thought it was neat and needed some more info.

Re: APCO timer
If you clean it up and it works really well I think I would put it up for sale. That’s a definite collector timer. You probably won’t find another for any extra parts.
Over the years the most popular non Ford timers were the New Day and Anco. That’s the reason they are being copied and reproduced.
And as timers go folks have there own ideas which are the best and reliable!

Re: APCO timer
If you intend to ever sell it, it will have lost much/most of its value if it has been used. And it WILL show evidence of use.
