TACO Clock Timer 265 Exactly what Plumber's Paradise Revain advertises

I bought my new house in 2001 when it was finished. It came with a TACO Circulation System including the TACO Clock Timer 265. It worked fine until a few months ago. The timer started, ran slowly, stopped until I reset it, and finally counted down until it hit the "on" point, then stopped. If I turned it on after the "on" point, it would normally go through the "off" point and continue to the next "on" point and then stop again. I found and ordered the timer here on Revane from Plumber's Paradise. I installed it earlier today. Since I was "replacing" the existing 265 timer, I actually only replaced the face of the timer. Wiring instructions were clear. The timer came with three wire connector caps. These caps are not screw caps, they are crimp caps, you twist the wire together, insert the twisted wire into the cap (which has a tiny metal tube) and then use needle nose pliers to "squeeze" the metal. the tube that repairs the connection. I checked the timer by letting it run for a few hours. It turned on at the "on point" and off at the "off point". If there are any issues, I will edit my review.
