I have been using the Gralab but wonder if there si a more accurate and reliable alternative ? What is your experience?

beware of used timers, I have a box of spare junk, I keep for parts
I have bought more than one right here on this forum that did not keep time, no I did not send them back
I bought a new Gralab 300 20 years ago for another usage, it still works fine
An older 300 I fixed and use
Beseler Digi-Timer Enlarging Timer is working well

The Zone VI compensating enlarging timer is one of the best investments I have ever made. We have only window air-conditioners in the summer, and the timer evens out the power fluctuations that used to drive me batty. Whenever my cold light head finally gives out, I am only hopeful that, unless another becomes suddenly available, someone by then will have started producing a moderately priced LED diffusion head that either uses the same sensor apparatus, or doesn't need one.

I use a Gralab 450 with my Focomat V35 and a very old EPOI PrintRol with my Beseler 4x5. The LF enlarger has an Aristo VCL4500 cold light head on it so choice of an electronic timer is a consideration.
Love the Time-O-Lite
but I have 3 that don't work!
and that's why I have 3, they are so cool..................................................................looking

Time o lite with a foot pedal. When I was a lab rat it stayed at 5 seconds, never moved. It made everything simple and direct. Great for selective burning, too.
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:
