Ranco thermostat $70 shipped!!

I've been out of the reptile seen for some time now. I found this one sitting in storage so I don't know what it's worth anymore. Brand new, untouched or wired in the box with instructions for $70 including shipping!

Thanks a lot!

Does that unit have a setback feature?

What do you mean setback feature?

I beleive he is talking about the night drop. And no the rancos do not have the drop.

I thought maybe the feture that allows you to set the temp change before it kicks back on, I forget what that's called. Like you can set it to turn on at 78 with 2 degrees or whatever you want meaning it goes on at 76 and shuts off at 80, cause that it does have but no night drop. However, I only set mine on a timer at night to bring the tanks down to room temp. I also used them two at a time meaning one to control the unit I wanted it for like a heater or ac and then another to protect in case something failed. Like, I ran one on my swamp cooler to turn it on at 85 but off if it hit 95 cause I would know the pump failed and was just blowing in hot air.

Your talking about the differrential(sp)...I use the Johnsons with a timer as well works something like a helix..

Right, I meant a "Night Drop". With the Johnson Conrtols A419, I believe you can install a switching device( Time clock, Timer, Etc..) between the BIN(+) and Com (-) terminals of the unit. You can program a secondary temperature setting into the unit and when the switch is closed, the secondary temp setting activates. For example, 87 during the day, time clock activates 78 at night.

Yuppers, they make a setback for th JC but not the Ranco...

I have seen 4 cage controlers floating around on the net. Do you know who the manufacturer of that unit is?

The actual manufacture is a mystery!!! I have searched the net and turned up empty handed. I do know it is changing hands right now and the dealers selling them are thinking about stopping selling them...
