It's about 18 years old, I don't think anybody is replacing the batteries anymore. I believe Tekna made the timer for them but Tekna went out of business 15 years ago.

My Liberator console is 20 years old. The date stamp on the bottom timer is 1992. The the batteries are replaceable; 357 button silver or equivalent lithium. Just use long, thin needle nose pliers in the notches in on the back case to open it. Very easy. Reinstall the tiny dessicant bag. Refinish the bezel by sanding it underwater with 2000 grit Wet-Or-Dry sandpaper, then finish it off by vigorously polishing with 3M Finess-It II machine compound (use your thumb until it gets warm). Comes out like glass.

This console came a nice PINK Tusa Imprex reg set I bought for daughter several years ago. Even has pink hose protectors. Great regs. I'll post snaps after I find a replacement compass.

Any idea where I can get a replacement compass for this console? I've had mine for around 20 years.
Let me know if you have any luck

Thanks
