Haha. I really do not know ya yet. Jury is still out. :-). Welcome back! It's a fun forum! I'm sure you add color and character and if it makes you happy write what ever ya want.

+1 on all of that and extremely well written. Ty. CG and son.

Bill. I am here to help ya! When you can. Take some pics for me? Of the back where to elements come out. And if possible do you have am ohm meter? To check the elements is a very simply ohms check Check your PM As think I can Help ya out if/when this makes it up the list. A good...

Then we're related w/ the gene flaw somehow. :-) Could not do this w/o some level of "data" right before my own eyes. Thanks for the note! Good to know tx

I saw 0 posts on this. Just wondered if you got this figured out? I just put in one myself but not this brand. Our Learning curve is about done. They are some fun toy's for sure. From the pics I could not tell the type of PID this was.

I thought I posted this last night? Darn i-Pad. Not forum friendly! Sorry if a dup. Happy Fathers day a tad early out there !! Issue: The refurb muffle furnace we have runs great. Put in a SOLO PID controller. Seems to run just fine. But- the Son wants to sell it and get a newer...

Anyone using a Hardness tester here? My Son and I just went to Clark/Sun-tec who are located just up the road. Wonderful learning experience! Ended up getting a super deal on a refrubed stationary tester. All USA parts and labor. Small Midwest place. Family type of store. They even...

Tim, THANK YOU for the notes And suggestions. Exactly what I need! So much to learn yet. I ran in ramp/soak today to 1250F and the data recorder from AD (freeware) crashed again. No real data to examine yet. I will follow your suggestions and rerun soon.. All; An added question if I...

thanks Tim. The PID solo auto tune ran for almost 2 hours. The oven was 145F from an empty soak yesterday of 50 mins at 750. These are so neat to play with. I am trying to cure the Mizzou cast side elements while getting used to the whole PID and settings goo. The auto tune seemed to...

UPDATE: PID and Controller Refit To keep the update on what the OP could accomplish on an updated DIY setup. Here is my completed unit all wired up. (finally!!!). It incorporates a few of the Original parts from the old 70's controller also. The Wood on the face came from a felled tree...

IT does not look all that big (as a unit) to me. My concern is the small work/heating chamber. I cannot tell the size but looks pretty small. I wonder if this is a High Temp item with all that insulating space? Anyway- To add some items to this thread related to making new encasedelements...

Totally agree. After messing w/ this 80's Termolyne and trying to get all the programming going, I put a KF on order and will use the "build" unit for something or just sell it locally. Our 27" KF series is to be picked up in a week or so. We're close to evenheat's caseville site. (for...

Your post seem pretty similar to what I'm engaged in now. I am rebuilding a Thermolyne 9"x10" x 18" or so.... It is from the 80's. Has a similar controller on the side for temp controls. If you want to do ramp soaks I think you may want to get some thing from the new Millennium? :-0...
