I would just bite the bullet and buy the timer you found. Unless you go to one of the blindness buy/sell/trade lists and ask if anybody has one they want to sell or otherwise get rid of, that is probably your best choice, to buy that one you found as a new product. In terms of mechanical timers, I believe that new is your best choice for accuracy. As time goes by the mechanical timers can work less efficiently or stop working altogether. I don't think you will find a new one cheaper, and as for shipping, the price is what it is and nothing much can be done about that.

I'm looking to replace it if I can't get it fixed. Here's specifically what I'm trying to find: A large (probably eight inch across) stand timer, analog of course, with a dial and raised numbers so I can feel them. I don't read Braille, so that won't be of any use to me, and I'm specifically trying to find a mechanical timer, not something digital. Amazon has one through Maxi-Aids that's $18, but they charge $7 for shipping, and that makes it a bit too much to pay. I haven't checked at the VI Rodent Emporium yet, because I figured I'd ask here first and go there next. So, anyone have a more reasonable source for a replacement timer?
