Of all the various types of mechnical timers that I have used over
the years, they all have at least one thing in common:  they wear
out in one to two years.  A recent example is the timer on my main
audio system which is presently turning the system off and on several
times before settling down.  It is being replaced by the BSR system.

I have also used mechanical timers for over ten years to turn on and
off the flourescent lights on my numerous fish tanks.  A BSR system
is in the works for them also.

None of the audio component digital timers are worth it until
station selection can also be programmed.  If we have presets,
why not programmable station selection in conjunction with a
timer?  And all built in to the tuner or receiver.  The video
capabilities in this regard make the audio world look like it is
in the stone age.


WAKE UP! audio manufacturers   (actually B & O has)
