If you have a link to what you bought that would be helpful. In the eBay link there's a kit shown. Does the one you bought have the exact same thermocouple? That is the shortest probe I've ever seen....

Auber makes excellent stuff. I have 3 Auber PIDs and never had a single issue. It's worth the few bucks more. You cannot go wrong with Auber.

I Googled your machine and these are the specs I found. It appears you should be running a 30 amp breaker:

Mark II Specs

1. Rack and pinion; eliminates stress on motor mounts

2....

A PID controller would be ideal. Not only will it read the current temp, it would also control the temp within 1 degree F. PID controllers can have high and/or low temp alarms to alert you if...

Can you reset to factory settings, do an auto-tune and see if it works properly? I've had an Auber PID act weird and when I checked every single setting I found that some were set improperly. I just...

If I understand you correctly, you intend to install a Mini Thermocouple Panel Connector in the back of the PID controller. You would also need some Thermocouple Extension Wire to wire the panel...

Amazon for $49.31 with Prime, but this one does not come with an AR-15 riser though they list one that comes with a riser for $71.99

Most any drill bit will work on a real billiards ball. I've always used regular drill bits and it works just fine. I've done this for at least 3 presses that I recall. If you drill a little off...

RCBS is excellent with customer support. Usually very little to no questions and they fix ya right up. It's rare to come across a company that does business like that.

I had a RCBS die set that...

This looks pretty cool, but for $40 ... I'll pass. http://www.laststands.com/#!buy-now/c1fn5

If they were $20 a set then I might have 2 sets by now.

Are you saying that your PID reads colder than your Lyman dial thermometer?

Have you checked to see what you PID reads in boiling water and ice? Maybe your PID just needs calibrated. My Auber PID...

oops mistake

I'm not sure if were talking about the same thing or not. Not the 12v (the control side) crossing over to the 110v (circuit side). He, my coworker, was suspicious about having 110v current on both...

I know exactly what you mean. I've seen similar accounts myself. That's the only reason I brought up "counterfeit" to begin with. I have no reason to suspect that I received a knockoff, at least not...

Yeah the eBay seller has a 30 day return policy. I'll send it back to have him replace it and see if this one was just a fluke. I've read that there are a lot of eBay sellers that sell clone copy...

My SSR just crapped out on me. Very strange.

The PID is sending a 12V signal to the SSR. The indicator light on the SSR is illuminating, but the SSR is just not allowing current to pass through....

Check out Bayou Classic Depot. They sell 10psi regulator kits and 0-30psi regulator kits. I have both regulators and they both work excellent. They also sell hose + regulator kits. Some burners...

Not much of an update, but I got around to installing self-adhesive rubber feet on the underside of the enclosure. Now it doesn't slip or slide around at all. It grips to any surface very well. A...

I drilled and tapped threads in a cast iron burner before. I welded my own steel stand and installed the burner. Worked fine and is still holding just fine. If you can get a dutch oven for cheap ......

I say check out used stores/rummage stores, flea markets, yard sales, etc... You can find lots of cast iron molds.

I only paid a few bucks for these:...

Check out this Lyman pot. This page says "Coming Soon".

Notice that digital control panel. That looks just like a PID controller to me. It is possible that it may be just a digital on/off...

^ ^ ^ That's a good idea (using a coat of wax).

What I found interesting was to strip all rust using muriatic acid. Works like a charm. Dunk anything rusty in muriatic acid and it quickly...
