Paul, think you may just be suffering a bad batch- three were two types: the
longer tin cylinder is the better of the two. Unipart p/n is GFU2125.
You could try for a solid state bistable 555 timer?? Sorry - no further
details.

Yep after the wiring gets old I have found that solid state ones will
work whereas the bimetal strip falter.

There is no actual voltage stabiliser on later Nippon Seiki type instruments
as the device is built into the clock or so I'm told. On the Smiths
instruments there used to be a unit that fitted on to the back but that all
changed when they dropped Smiths late in 1985?

Thanks, Taffy, Cashman & Rob. I didn't know there was a solid state
version. Although I've been running Minis since 1970, I've not had one on
the road since 1972 until last November. All the Minis in between have had
minimal "wiring" for competition use. =8¬]
