I finally found rancos on ebay!!

So after searching for about 2 weeks, page after page after page hoping to find a deal I come across the words Ranco ETC. So I do a search for that. THERES BUNCHES OF THEM! After shipping I can get one for $50! SUCCESS!!

I feel so warm and fuzzy inside knowing I don't have to worry about my crappy rheostat allowing fluctuations of 10 degrees to occur while I'm not home. When my collection increases I still plan on getting a herpstat 2 but for now this is perfect. I just had to share my glee.

Be careful to match the model numbers a lot of the Ranco on Ebay are 12 volt models.

theyre pretty much all the 111000 models....is that usable?

And make sure that they are already wired!

Yes those are the 120v (the ones you want) :gj:

I agree with Robin at that price you are going to need to wire them yourself so you either need to be good at wiring or buy/find someone to wire them for you.

Oh yea, thats why it took me weeks to find what I was looking for, everything needed hardwiring, the ETC models are all prewired and have the piggyback plugs

I double checked and only some are pre-wired, others say it can be done with an extension cord. But thanx for making sure I checked that. I could have bought the wrong one.

Some are some aren't. Either way my bf works in home automation so he can wire it for me if I buy one not wired:)
