BURGESS BUG KILLER 960

[frhrwa]

I have a two ea. foggers, both Burgess 960 models.. the heat elements on both went out and I cannot find a BURGESS that manufacturers these in order to get new ones? Sears sent me a substitute, not even close, won't fit, and won't work.. ? any clues where to get two barrels? I have pictures of mine and the one they sent.. I found two components bad, one in each.. the thermo device that lets the coil heat up.. 63TM01 L-500-50F other numbers on them are C0045 10002 where can I get two each of these?

[frhrwa]

someone out there must know where to get these parts? help...

[dacflyer]

do you have pictures of the bad parts?
the L-500-50F almost sounds like a thermal switch...but not sure.
show some pictures if you can...

[frhrwa]

got pic's, just need to figure out how to post them...

[frhrwa]

these didn't show above..

[dacflyer]

ok, i thought right.. it is a thermal switch.. now to find it.
i'll be back later with a reply on what i find..

[frhrwa]

thanks Dac... I appreciate it, I've run aground looking..

[dacflyer]

i am having a hard time to find a switch for you.. i am guessing it is a 500F switch but i cannot seem to find a conversion for the numbers...i'll keep looking..

[frhrwa]

thanks.. you'll probably come up with it faster than me for sure..

In Newark I can find a similar looking "disc thermostat" but they appear to be a 60F not 50F. Look at NTE-DTO60 and see if you think it might work. Any NTE part should be available at you local electronics store.

Without the specific dimensions of your switch I can't say for sure it would fit but there were several different manufacturers in Newark so I'm thinking one should work.

I'll go out and measure.. be back in a bit.. 60 would probably work fine, that makes it a little hotter right?

[dacflyer]

i cannot remember how to decipher it correctly.. i thought it turns off at 500F then closes back after a 50F fall. not for sure..
there used to be a code that you could use to decipher them,

GUESS that's why Burgess isn't around? using obsolete parts.. they finally ran out of them..

5/8" diameter by 5/8" tall..

here is another idea... find another outfit that makes such a tool...contact them or look online and see if they have a parts break down.. i am sure they are all the just about the same..
