Crock Pot Surgery!

[Steve A.]

I'm either waiting for a wax chunk to melt or a molten pot of 200 degrees wax to cool down ...too many late nights what's the next step to keep it at a desired temp 148f

You are referring to the tiny one that holds 16 oz- right? Best suggestion I have heard so far is to hook it up to a light dimmer. You could mount it in a 4x4 box with the dimmer on one side and a duplex outlet on the other. I would have one of the outlets full voltage and the other connected to the dimmer... and would forget which one was which all of the time!

The options you mentioned are getting too complex to do everytime...

For sure! They are just ideas that you might want to check out at some point in the future. Like maybe try adding the 220pF capacitor to a series/parallel/split coil switch for a 4-lead humbucker. (I'll have to see if that is doable.)

I USE A smallish sized crocpot
I made a light dimmer when i built my amp I might have to experiment

I do the same thing with the dim bulb tester.
It's still a pain, but you can slow it down a bit.
After the wax melts, I then plug it into the lamp tester.
A 60 watt bulb in the summertime.
Or you can melt the wax with the lamp tester, but it takes forever.
I monitor the wax with a cooking thermometer.

I'm sure it holds more than that ,I think it's a 3.5 quart crock pot .Its almost 7" inside diameter
