Does anyone know how to service or adjust the thermostat? It looks like it has points like a old car had.
Also does anyone know what this piece is it has a screw going to the outside of the box.

Does anyone know what the cut in and cut out temp should be?

My 1979 Ranco cross reference lists the MIA261, it was replaced with the A30-180. The A30-180 is a adaptable control. I do not know if it comes with the right adapter for a FEA knob or not. Here is a link to a pic that shows the shaft adapters that come with it. www.webstaurantstore.com/all-points-46-1501-bin-temperature-control-kit-32-to-61-degrees-fahrenheit/AP461501.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CjwKCAjw1ej5BRBhEiwAfHyh1NyCa7gHOVzpSjHKpofkITIkNt3sGhEJZl2qREDLX6z0MklCezGiQhoC1owQAvD_BwE
