Ranco Failure

Sorry Brother, when I had my issue, it kinda' put me in a bad place for a while and I dropped off the Forum and out of the hobby for almost two years. Maybe I should have posted about it when it happened.

To be honest, this is the first time I've ever confirmed the name of the thermostat that caused my problem. Mine went stupid during a Noreaster, while I was on a business trip. I always wonderd if I would have had a different result had I used another type of thermostat.

damn sorry to hear the whole story. I'd noticed you previously had alluded to dropping out of the hobby for a while but didn't realize that was the reason.

I use herpstats simply because I prefer proportional to on/off, but it's helpful to have threads like this to remind people of the importance of a back-up regardless of the brand.
