I got a new PID this week and it works great. To hold the probe I simply used a couple loops of wire. It worked - sorta, but I wasn't satisfied with it. So this afternoon I took some scrap and made something better. I took some round stock and bored a 3/8" hole through it. Then welded it to a piece of flat stock and bored the hole through that too. I had to take the Mag 20 pot apart to remove the nut and bolt to mount it. Not a big deal, but it took a few extra minutes. Now I have a stable probe holder that keeps it upright, yet is easily removable.

It's nothing pretty. But it's solid, keeps the probe out of my way, and the hole is large enough to remove the probe even with lead built up on it.
