OK Ta. I've been meaning to open it up but lacking confidence it is fixable:-)

Your question begs another...

What are the briefest, least ambiguous definitions of Electrical and Electronic.

PA BSc(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering. 50+ years, and still ready hear your ideas ;)

No I'm not, but I'm not the one conflating, "Only one exchange into the discussion and you resort to personal abuse" with abuse.

It certainly is.

A sign of another lost argument.

Except Clive doesn't look a fool. Whereas we know you are.

In my younger days I treated DC and low frequency <=60Hz power installations as electrical, and HF >60Hz where the intentional is not electrical supply to be electronic. Therefore a Tesla coil would be electronic, but the power transmission across the channel from France to the UK would be electrical. You might want to call the apparatus at each end of the underwater cable, Power Electronics.

YMMV

In short it doesn't really matter, in much the same way a solid state TV could still have a massive CRT in it.

Bang goes my valve voltmeter then...

and HF >60Hz where the intentional is not

Turns out my Duallit timer is not user serviceable:-( The cover plate is riveted on with plastic pins. I have lubricated the shaft and reassembled. Mi7 replacement £11.37 del. Wednesday.

"Riveted on with plastic pins" sounds get-roundable ;-)

I think mine had a large nut, like a potentiometer nut, and then maybe some smaller screws, or clips as part of the plastic?

But yeah, replacements are not super-exorbitant.
