I do electronics A/V and control for a living. All of this stuff is childs play. The only stumbling post for me with these is finding a unit that will fit into the opening in the control panel. The idea of spending $4-500 for a used PID with the same part number is stupid. You can either go 120,240, or 24volt for control voltage. Internal relay and its size is not a limiting factor because you can either use a contactor or external relay in conjunction with the PID.

PID controllers are normally standard sizes
1/8,1/16,1/32
Rarely will you find a odd ball sized one.
His is a 1/16 size.
You can find a cheap replacement off of eBay and it would arrive in a month or so.
But we are talking about replacing a PID controller in a Casting machine.
I would rather deal with a USA supplier that has tech support in case there is issues.
I spoke to Hoot last night and I think his problem is a bad thermocouple as his second PID (the 'broken one') displays FFFFF which normally means no TC hooked up.

HEY,GUY'S,,i'm home ( finally),,long day,, as "Hatch" said after we spoke last nite,,i went back out to shop,,"it was a bad TC" . On the side where the rack& pinion are located the wire's coming from the pot were (are) plug in's,,,but I took out a screw ,pulled the cover off ,in side is a + & - prong's,,the braided covering had shorted between the 2 lead's ( burnt the end off the neg. side. Seperated the 2 put on heat shrink's ,," OH YEAH!!" Mak'n heat both sides. Both PID's and relay's working ,,,now just need to figure out what the 2 time delay sw's ( 1 on valve & 1 on lead control) operate . Ya'll take. tomorrow off (LOL) have a great THANKSGIVING,,.
Later,,,,Hootmix.
Cool deal. Well send me pics and we can talk and discuss thoughts anytime
Happy Thanksgiving!!
