I found an electric hot plate at the local Goodwill. Does anyone know anything about this thing?
I assume that it was either originally for use in a scientific lab or a brewery, but I am just guessing.
It appears to have a thermocouple built in
I think that figuring out the wiring should be pretty simple and I am planning on wiring it up to a digital controller.
My big question is, what is this thing?
It looks like a light bulb, but appears to contain a small puddle of mercury.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
