Apparently I missed it...sorry!

No problem, I assumed you were being kept busy elsewhere :-)

good idea to get the manual for it before you do anything.

I found the original manual ... copyright 1977 !

If the timer is a
dial "stove timer," the unit is quite old...that's the original
controller, and has been discontinued.

Indeed it is. I wonder if I can get any money for its value as an
antique ? Yes, I am joking.

Raritan tech services. Vic Willman is the person you want to talk to at
Raritan...give him a call at 800-352-352-5630.

I just added his info to my Palm Pilot address book, thanks.

From your other answer, back on the head mistress forum:

The first question is, whether you can legally use your Lectra/San
in your waters. Most of the waters of SoCal are "no discharge"--holding
tank only.

I didn't realize that. I thought it was only Avalon and other harbors,
but since I've never had a boat on this coast before the issue has never
come up.

Given that restriction, is there any advantage to even trying to bring
it back to life since it doesn't have a holding tank ? I'd have to add
a holding tank anyway for no-discharge areas. Does Lectrasan treatment
sterilize the effluent enough to make it too dead to cause odors ?

The boat (in beautiful condition !) is a 1975 and I'd guess the
Lectrasan is a 1977, based on the manual copyright. For a 23 pocket
cruiser a "semi-permanent", pumpable porta-potti might make more sense ?

Thanks,
