I simply asked a question as to some specifics of a variac. A variac seems to do the exact same thing, but cost more. Yes, I am not alone in not trusting myself to put something like this together. I did not see anything related to a 120V system with a 1,500 W input. So I asked. If I were going 240 V, this would be simple. There's plenty of good information in the lounge as to how to do a 240V, but none related to a 120V. I'm not the only one on this forum to ask that, and it does not warrant that type of response.
I was not asking for anyone to hold my hand, nor was I whining. It was a legitimate request for information. If someone had some extra for sale, that's called BUSINESS.
I fully respect the work done by all of these people in the forums. I don't respect the nasty responses.
guess my eyes wondered both times. 
Those seem to be quite cheap, looks to be had for around $30. Do you guys experience any noises or light dimming etc issues from these? Only benefit of the pid I see, would be the use to control wash temp during down time. And the alarm to let you know there has been a slight temp change. But wish I had understood that controller earlier. Oh well, maybe one day i will get bored and try to make the PID do ALL the work. Probably a couple different PID's, actuated valves, timer etc. I thought someone had tried this but discussion stopped probably for the same reason it will stop here. Different day, different thread, different dollar.
