On 7/19/04 I psoted the following to the group, "I just bought the Ranco
ETC -111000-000 120/240V SINGLE STAGE
COMMERCIAL TEMP. CONTROL NEMA 1 -30/220F for 44.070 ea from
[url]www.controlsdepot.com[/url] and only paid 7.71 shipping for three (UPS 3 day
select standard). No affiliation, yadda-yadda. I found this company
with a google search for ranco temperature comtrollers and it turns
out to be a one-man shop in MA. Nice to see an individual can provide
good service and low prices!"

I received the units within three days and they are the exact same thing
that you will pay $60 or more for from online brew shops.

BTW this unit will control heat or cool and has digital control with
programmable temp and differential.

Email if you have any questions.
