Default Wiring a Nocon timer

After many months searching I finally found a Nocon F stop timer at SDS. It was marked as wired for a De vere. I use to have one many years ago and I vaguely remember rewiring it for my then De vere 504. Following a set of instructions but I can't remember were I got them. I would now like to do the reverse to this one and connect it to a Durst modular 70 colour. Unfortunately I cannot find anything in google etc. I thought it might just be fitting a new plug but when I removed the back and there is a lot more wire in there than I remember. Does anyone have a wiring digram or a picture of the layout for the connectors inside that would help. I can then pass it on to a 'lecky' and get it working. (I hope it is that simple).

Steve

Steve,

It might be worthwhile asking the Large Format Forum:

I had a problem with a Durst transformer a while back and they were quite helpful.

It can't be that complex as all it's doing is switching a light on and off. If I had it here I could propbably work it out in five minutes.

Do you know anyone locally who could trace the wiring out for you? An electrical or electronic engineer or general tinkerer should be able to do it.


Steve.

Nice to know that Dads still have a use especially for analogue photography by their offspring. Mine have started to give me advice but not about analogue photography!

The best advice I ever heard was from my grandfather telling his son (my father) "You had better look after this house son, or it won't be worth anything when you get it".

Advice I plan on giving to my own son when the time is right.
