Does the device work very well?
What disadvantages are possible?

Many thanks in advance!

They are the same made by Nu-Rex and are a copy of the original Phillips.

IMO it works very well. One "disadvantage" is in some situations your timing may be too advanced. In this situation I simply retard the advance lever some.

I set my timing so "0" advance is ~ ½ way down so I can retard the timing if needed (say on a hill)l. My timing with the Nu-Rex is set with the advance all in at 30°.
