Are you allowed to pull your knob on here????

Becasue if you are I would have joined before..........................

How is the golf course in Riyadh, by the way? Me and Jeff the mad Fin played a few holes there once (50ºC). It seemed to be mostly bunker though [/quote]

Did you have to use your little bit of Astro turf???

Well the airport one is gone now I think. The brown is still here and Arizona as one, but as of yet not had a round

There is often a small retaing screw so you will need to release that first, then as it says just pull the knob in the middle. You may have to use some force but the whole front will pull out.

undoing the knob will only allow you to adjust the time settings so its best to do it up tight and pull hard.

If it is one of the round sangamo timers I'm thinking the screw which holds the cover over where the wires enter the timer is a retaining screw.

Spark123 your right but I took that off first there is two screw on the base but if I take them out to mount it how do they go back in and there is a wee white plastic button that moves when I try to lift it out

Once you have the retaining screws out the whole of the timer mechanism just pulls straight out, as other have said they can be pretty tight as the connectors in the back are fairly big.
The little white thing sounds like the over-ride button on the side, no need to worry about it.

sorted its the white plastic plugs that holds it these things seem to have been around for donkeys I have never used one I prefer the grasslin type they can switch up to 5 amps i think so dont see the need for these clunky old timers, hey that sounds like it could be a description of me and your right spark the case will pass the button I have tried it

The old sangamo timers are very reliable, I have not had to replace one of ours yet.

 

[Steve]

Are the new sangamo timers very reliable too?

 

[Spark123]

Dunno, they are too new to judge

lol, well they seem ok from my limited experience! Though get one with bells and whistles and nobody knows how to actually use them!!! Too many dials and options.
