[DeTomaso] Robertshaw thermostat is BACK!

[Mike Drew]

All,

Thanks to Dennis Valdez for tipping me off to the fact that the much-missed Robertshaw 333-180 thermostat is back in production!

These haven’t been available for years, and Marlin Jack made a good business converting Windsor 330-180 thermostats to Cleveland specification, and selling them for almost triple the price. Thankfully now they are back in production. 

This is the ONLY thermostat I would choose today. Cheaper, conventional $10 thermostats will do the job, and likely not fail, but somehow these $34 jobs are considered superior.

While you’re at it, replace the cheap paper water neck gasket with the Fel-Pro 35041T.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dennis!
