Horstmann H Series should be a direct replacement using the existing backplate

When you remove your Coronet from the wall you will find all the wiring is attached to a backplate fixed to the wall, the Coronet clips and screws onto the backplate.
It will look something like this (not sure if this is actually a Coronet)
A compatible controller clips onto the same backplate so you don't have to alter the wiring. A one or two channel programmer should use the same terminals, a 3 channel programmer may need some adjustment to the wiring.
The H27XL is 2 channel 7 days, 3 events per day and different programmes for each day of the week.
The H11 is 1 channel, 1 day, 3 events per day and every day the same.

thx again for replies.. so would the Horstmann H27XL be ok as ive found one cheap on ebay
They use the same wiring. Coronet uses terminals 456 for CH changeover (5 is common/live). Diadem/Tiara use 123 for the HW changeover and 456 for the CH changeover.
The 11, 17, 21 and 27 all use the same wiring.
The 31 and 37 3 channels use same backplate but different wiring, live is not available/linked L-2-5 as 2 and 5 are used for switching.

Coronet does not have an industry standard back plate like the one in the picture and other than getting the same clock any digital will need the backplate removed and rewired.
OP best value digital would be horstman C21 ABOUT 25 QUID
