Randomly selected from the ones that pass through here.
AFTER a 30 min. warmup, full boiler, at idle, room temp 75 F:
Low: heater turns on -- 224.5 F
High: after heater cutoff and over-shoot -- 285.0 F
Net 'swing' 61 F! horrible!
(using Agilent 34970A / 34902A DAQ @ 4 samples / sec. calibrated 'T'
T/C on boiler top surface.)
Line voltage 122 V nominal.

Nice Job! I ended up ordering a kit from Jim @ PIDkits - now I just
have to be patient for 3 weeks!

Dave - I love your PID'ed Silvias on eBay and I know you offer a
service to do it (I already have a Silvia) but you don't offer a kit.
I'm a very handy person and from reading about the mod seems like I
could DIY pretty easily. Some of the kits out there are pretty
expensive, others less so. Any recommendations on parts/kits? Would
you consider selling a kit? ;)

Contact Jim at http://www.pidkits.com/
Many here can vouch for his excellent kits, ready-cut and with
connectors in place, and very simple to follow CD of instructions.
Installation took me about 20 minutes.

Wow! Almost makes me wish that I was doing mine -- but I did mine a
couple years ago before any kits were available.

You must be a speed demon ;-) It took me hours, but then I am the type
to check things again and again before actually doing something.
However, I can also vouch for both the the quality of the kit and the
instructions on the CD. Jim answers email queries very promptly as
well.

Did it really?
I wasn't counting set up time, and getting the tools and a laptop into
the kitchen to read the instructions. But even then I was done in
about an hour, total.
I also read the instructions over and over the day I received the kit
to be sure I had a clue what I was doing. ;-)
