I need a timer for this dated control unit-also what is the process of converting the old control panel to an EC unit?

Raritan discontinued that old "stove timer" controller 20 years ago, but you should be able to find people who've cobbled one up using a stove timer and relays. You MIGHT even find a real one still working on eBay.
You don't want an EC unit...it had problems that Raritan solved by developing the MC unit, which is pretty good one. You'll have to check with Raritan (800-352-5630) to find out whether it's possible to replace your 1970s controller with an MC controller. If you can, these folks have L/S replacement parts for a pretty reasonable price:

Btw, there is a sanitation and plumbing forum on the sbo.com sites.
Thanks for info- I'll follow through on your suggestions. What is the process of cobbling a stove timer and relay?
You may not have to...I put out a call on a couple of board where a lot of "old salts" hang out and one of 'em came up with this:

However, the price is very close to the bargainboats.com price for an MC conversion...so give some thought to which way you want to go.
Peggie- thanks this may work- have a couple of entire used units as possibilities- also received feedback from Raritan he stated that the EC to MC conversion will not work-
