My Gralab timer just died. Can you suggest an affordable, reliable digital timer ($100 or so) Thanks

I've been using my Gralab about 48 years. At this time it shows no signs of ill health, but if it should die, I believe I'll seriously consider getting another Gralab.

I don't know if you use the Gralab (300?) for printing, film, or both. I used mine for everything for years. I finally picked up a used Gralab (400?) for the enlarger, and it's a world of difference. I'd never go back to the 300 for the enlarger, as it's too hard to set accurately for short exposures. With old age, it's also difficult to remember what the last exposre was! The digital is accurate, and remembers for you. I still like the 300 for film, though. Check eBay, as I've seen lots of timers there. The early Gralab digital should go for about what you want to spend, maybe less.
