replacement of INtermatic timer that is connected to a irritrol valve connected to a fimco flow valve

I have a broken intermatic controller that I need to replace but its connect to a Irritrol valve (216B) and that is connected to a fimco hydro indexing flow Valve (4 zones). what type of controller can I replace it? do I need a 4 zone controller or 1 zone with multiple time since it seems that the fimco flow valve will do the four zones.

You should try to get an exact replacement controller, or nearabouts, if you want a guaranteed result. Indexing valves need a delay between zones, and some of them are better off having a delay of a few minutes duration, and that is not an option on inexpensive modern controllers. Another reason to try to match controllers is that some of them will have a line voltage output, matching up with a line-voltage solenoid.

These old Intermatic controllers are actually repairable, sometimes only needing a replacement motor.
