    Jobo temp control issues!

    I have a Job DuoLab that was in storage for a while, when I used it last week the water heater just boiled the water pretty much. I measured it at 65deg and this was regardless of the settings, I am guessing that the temp sensor is shot. Is there any solutions for this, what with Jobo pretty much out of the processor business? Anyone know of maybe a replacement part? Or am I looking at retiring it?
    I turned the unit off and just processed by hand(C41) once the temp was back down to 38deg, and rolling by hand, as turning on the rotation meant turning on the heater.

    I have found a heater unit that I can use with a water jacket of some kind but would like to fix the Jobo if possible, within reason cost wise of course.

    Cheers in anticipation.

    I think you can find a Jobo rheostat replacement on ebay.

    More likely because it was tilted, the steel balls have dropped out of position. I'll get you the info.
