My Adams air machine timer seems to have died and the replacement is $78. Any cheaper timers that you guys would suggest? Here is what is in there now.

Just replaced one for a customer a couple weeks ago with the one Earl linked above. Works perfect and can't beat the price.

So I bought the cheaper KR timer, but have no idea how to wire it up. Could someone give me tell me which wire goes where? Here is a picture of the new timer, current timer is pictured 2nd. Thanks!

It is, which is why I don't use or sell those timers.

1 = Common (White wires)
2 = Load out
3 = Hot (Black wires)
4 = Mechanical coin switch (NO)
5 = Mechanical coin switch (COM)

There should be a black wire with a wire nut coming out near terminal 1, just leave it capped.

Thanks! Was going to play wires roulette otherwise and see what happened lol. No black wire coming out, it's just as pictured even though I do see one in the instructions Randy posted.

I just installed it and got it to work fine. MEP was close, just 1= Line(hot) and 3= Common, otherwise it was correct. One thing that is wrong is that it says the dip switches control time per coin, but they actually control time per cycle so 32 seconds for example would give you 32 seconds regardless of the number of coins to start.

Sorry, I thought I had it right. The diagram makes it look like the "LOAD" is what's switched from 3.

I saw that the 1 had a + and 3 -, so figured that was how it went. Without your post I wouldn't have even know where to start, so much appreciated.
