Except it's All Plastic Now! Nothing left to rust! Don't know that I would pay $300 for a plastic one that won't let you shut the buzzer off. Evidently removing the buzzer switch was the last upgrade. It also shrunk from 12x12 to 7.5x7.5.Originally Posted by Tin Can
The control at the bottom right lets you control the buzzer volume from off to very loud. Having worked with both, I don't particularly care for either version - but the plastic one is an ok process timer.
Glad you got the control knob, apparently the new ones don't have it and there are complaints. Look at all the photos on B&H you will see timers without the buzzer knob.
Plastic is safer

Safer How? In 55 years of using them I've never been injured. At least with the old ones you could judge the viability by the amount of rust!
Long time ago I had a Gralab but never liked it that much, then it stopped working and I gave it to a colleague who managed to repair it, and then he gave it away too because didn't like it very much neither.
Anyway, if I would like to buy one, used (on eBuy for instance) most of them are 110V/60Hz, and new ones, if I can find one over here, will be not cheap at all...
In the meanwhile tried the IFF and it runs like a charm and only costed €89.- (used).
Repeatability of the set time was important for me.
