Hi Ira, When you switched to the PID control, how did you address the thermocouple wire? Did you use the same thermowell with a new wire? Also, is the controller mounting hole on the front plate too small, or too big? My machine was purchased in January of 2005. I used it stock for one year, then plumbed it in & out, and switched to an external rotary pump & motor. I will continue to use my stock temp control till it quits, but would appreciate some insight about making the switch when the time comes. On the other hand, it could be a good idea to buy a replacement stock controller from canada and keep it for an instant spare part.
