    horstmann 80A timer for storage heater circuit

    Just looked at a domestic call out. Storage heaters have stopped working. Next to the consumer unit is a Horstmann 80A timer clock, you know the typical steam punk Bakelite. This looks burnt out. Any recommendations for a replacement. Not familiar with this type of circuit arrangement.

    Hoping for some advice please. A switch tripped a few days ago in my Consumer unit - only realised as my hot water boiler didn't seem to be working.
