<< Greetings,

I was researching obtaining a probe for my Lumicon hyper kit from the company 
that made them (PSG).  In specific I was interested in a medium value 40C 
probe, after 3 weeks of communicating with PSG I got a stunning quote back.  
I 
guess for the $423 for a mercury switched probe, building a more accurate 
digital device is my next project!

Ah well, I havent built a digital device since my drive controller for my old 
Cave mount.  Should be fun!

Keith:
For $423 you can get one heck of a microprocessor controlled temperature 
controller from Omega Engineering that you can set to any temperature you 
want, either F or C and have it control the speed of heating and cooling. 
(acutally the cost of the Omega controller I use was about $250)

Of course, if you can really get the parts from Radio Shack for $ 20 more 
power to you.
