Bone stock except for Jaeger p-stat, no other issues on this 10+ old machine.

I'm ok with putting some $$ into it if it is that time.

New controller and pid?  If I'm doing that I might as well go rotary too.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm sorry I didn't ask before but how old is your machine? Have you had any 
problems leading up to this? I have a bII and ended up replacing the controller 
and doing a pid conversion earlier this year and it solved several problems I 
was having.
