I had Furneco's email address from ordering temperature probes last year, so I just replied asking if they had the corresponding controller. $96 plus shipping, and it includes a spare sensor. Not bad, so I ordered today. If anyone sees this later and does have a spare since upgrading to PID, let me know. I'd like to have a spare.
