Lot of new guys don't know what to look for ( I didn't) or how simple the wiring really can be so I scratched this together. Hopefully the picture will show up. Not too well, will try to use an offsite URL.

Thanks Mike W1, this is very good information and could be very handy for someone builing a PID for the first time.

I'm sure this is great info for someone wanting to build one, but does anyone offer a kit or complete project for a Lee 20lb pot? I'd be happy to pay to just have the thing built vs chasing down parts.

i really enjoy mechanical tinkering, electronic tinkering not so much.
