[TR] Tr3a thermostat question

[Anthony Rhodes]

Here is what I am using.  It is sold by XKs Unlimited (SKU: 09-0160)     

It is a modern thermostat but is retrofitted with a skirt to function just like the bellows type.  

It is based on a design I discussed here probably almost 20 years ago.  The only difference from stock for a TR is it is a 160 degree instead of 185.   But in the tropics of Florida, this is likely perfect.
