Old Imperial Irrigation Timer (need pins)

[Slade]

I have an old, but very sturdy, 11 station Imperial Valet irrigation timer that was probably put in when the house was built. The company is long out of business.

My problem is that I need a dozen of the pins that set the dates and times. Anyone have an idea where I can get these?

If I can't find any, I'll need to expand my 24 station Hunter ICC, but would rather not as the valves are probably the old higher current Imperials so I'd have to replace them too.

Thanks!

I have one of those controllers for my lawn, it's been totally reliable and no fooling around with backup batteries and having to reprogram everytime there's a power glitch. I'll have to look at the small screws but if they're a standard thread you could just buy socket head cap screws and add washers to get the depth right, or grind them down to length, as a backup plan. BTW, there's a 6-zone Imperial on ebay right now at $35.00, no bids.

I was complaining about not being able to find the pins to my lawn guy and the next week he brought a dozen of them -- told me that the nursery orders them from John Deere.
