Hi all. I've lurked on this forum for years but this is my first post. I have a GE CA-2-B16 that I purchased years ago--same old story, drive a few hundred miles, unit looks so-so, "oh, by the way, the thermostat knob is broken, but that's no big deal", the guy says. I'd driven so far with a trailer so I took it home. I rewired it and determined that it would run (bypassing the thermostat), with Mike Arnold's guidance. I'm finally retired so I dug into it again, thinking that I could fix it. I got close, but the thermostat is getting the best of me. I did manage to epoxy the knob back together and get it back in; then I found the little brass clip, when it fell out. Using coldspaces' tutorial, I THEN determined that I should have put the brass clip on BEFORE I epoxied the knob back together. Oh well.
Does anyone have a two-knob control unit for my MT or have any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave

I have a control for a CA which I repaired for another person, who then ghosted on me. Will send you a PM with details. |

I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to turbokinetic (David) who shipped me a rebuilt thermostat for my CA-2-B16. He's been an incredible help and a pleasure to do business with. AND he knows a lot about these units. I have the rebuilt thermostat in my unit and will turn it on when the temperature goes above 10 degrees (F) outside, as my monitor top is in my outside garage.

Dave Thanks so much for the kind words. I sure hope your CA is in great health and performs flawlessly with the thermostat! |
