Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2004 02:43 PM                     Anyone know where I can get a replacement thermostat for this beast?  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 05-14-2004 03:04 PM                     Since the company is now shut down, I'd try a concession dealer whoo handles popcorn machines. It is the same type, but a lower temp rating fjn Local 294 Ret.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2004 07:08 PM                     I thought Meier Hancock was bought out by one of the big editorial supply houses in Burbank.... Christies perhaps....

Most thermostats can be replaced with a thermal switch which are like only 50 cents at the most. If you find me the rating I can look for you. Just need to know what voltage, amps, and temperate on and off.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 05-15-2004 08:11 AM                     Mark-- They could have been bought out by someone else... I don't know offhand. I bought my MH Hot Splicer about twenty years ago when everything was pretty stable there personel-wise. I suggest that one remove the bad thermostat from the unit a contact a local industrial supply house and match it up. That's the best I can do from this end!! fjn Local 294 Ret.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-15-2004 11:41 AM                     Yes, you might give Christy's Editorial in Burbank a call. 800-566-5706 or their website. Edit: Looks like Christy's put an incorrect number on their catalog....

The tel. # by the way is 800-556-5706.  |  IP: Logged
