The price of the digital temp controller seems pretty expensive. I wonder if WLL sells the newer PID and SSR for our older machines, and how much it would cost? My original B1 temp controller is still working. 6 weeks is a long time to wait - that is 4 weeks in their shop! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny UMAA" <[email protected]> To: "Brewtus" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:58 AM Subject: Brewtus II Back To WLL...Again...
