W.W. Grainger carries this timer. Two are required for each MDPL type
tower. My problem with the tower not raising was one of the TDR units.
These timers have a removable cover that allows one to get to the contacts
to burnish them if necessary.
Burnishing the contacts was a temporary cure for my tower not raising.
Whacking the side of the case, NJ9K's cure, will also snap that timer into
operation. I don't recommend this for a long term cure unless you are
standing right by the box at the base of the tower to correct anything that
might go wrong.
It is a pity US Tower doesn't supply a manual with parts list and schematic
for their tower control systems. However customer service has never been
one of their strong suits!
