Hello,

I am trying to loacate a place in the US to purchase 4 token-operated timers.

When a customer deposits a token, a countdown timer should begin
counting down.  While the timer is active, power should be supplied to
the device the customer will be using (load).  When time runs out,
power will no longer be supplied to the load.  It is not necessary for
the "time remaining" to be displayed to the customer.

The load will be 24VAC.  

We need this "meter" to be enclosed in a water resistant housing which
can be recessed into a wall.  Ideally, the front (the part exposed
after being recessed) will have a reasonably flat / flush surface with
the surounding wall, and will be made of stainless steel or at least a
rugged metal surface.

A key switch should be available for "free" mode.

I will be happy if the above can be found.  Extra points if it is
water resistant and stainless steel.  More extra points if a selector
switch is present or can be added so two devices can be controled.

The following are examples of what I've found in my own research:

- HM6 from Monarch: 
     http://www.monarchcoin.com/timers-hm6.asp
  This is the closest to what I'm looking for.  It's available 
  with a 24VAC timer.  If it was stainless and had a 3 position 
  rotary switch (device 1, off, device 2), I'd be very happy.
  I'm asking for help finding a better match than this...

- BMP basic model from Wyvern Leisure: 
     http://www.wyvern-innleisure.co.uk/wyvern2k.htm 
  This is a UK company, and I've contacted them.  If I could find
  this in the US, operating at 24VAC, and in stainless with a 
  load switch, I'd be happy...

For the purposes of this discussion, assume the two devices being timed are:    

 1) shower (activated by a solenoid valve)

 2) hair dryer 

When the timer is active, the user should be able to turn the switch
to select either device.  When time runs out, no power will be
available to the switch.

Thanks for your help!
