Thanks Jim!! That sounds like a deal, and I appreciate your ideas on
the ss vs vacuum. At that price, I can't go wrong.

Brian,
Pioneer Breaker Supply has an Ebay auction, Buy it Now, relays for $9.95
each:
New Relay 30 Amp 120 Volt AC Panel Mount
Item number:
150054261261
Buy two of these since they are SPST 30A with 120vac coil.
IMHO I would stay away from Solid State relays when the load is not resistive.
Yes you can get away with it if you oversize the SSR accordingly, but even then
the zero crossing circuitry triggering the dual SCR or Triac firing might get
fooled, and lead to some form of instability. With a SSR you also want a
mechanical switch in series with the AC line in case the SCR's/Triac short
out...could be a safety problem.
