Hi, I'm glad to continue that awesome thread, I have a question: Is somebody can share the settings used for the Hercules black rod? It comes with a resistance at 0.89ohm so, practically, it's a good candidate for temp control feature although I don't know which settings to use, I bet the SS, Ni and Ti mode are useless and only a well adjusted TCR number can do the trick... I tried and will try again the FC "search" function but I never achieved to get good results when looking at a specific info, just right when I search a thread only but never for such detailled infos.
Can I add I received an awesome package from our dear G, the creator. Lot of replacement parts for the Hercules! Don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything to re-build your Hercules (I'll ask only for shipping costs and, if you can, a few more bucks for my pain
... and my beer!) Though I haven't all the parts, here the list: airflow gold plated ring, teflon insulator, Ti wicks (large and small), SS cap for sr-74x (without threading), sr-74x mod(bottom chamber, chamber and cap), adapter (510/510, 601/510 and 601/601), gold plated spring loaded contact part (idk the exact name), white and black rods and retainer rings. Please notice I don't have very large amounts of these parts, don't feel hurted if I haven't anymore parts when you contact me. I have a fews SR-71 without heat shield (you know that ugly black thing, I removed it on mine) and with a SR-74x ss cap style (without threading) although I'll include an adapter. Please for the sr-71 wait my posts in the Classifieds, probably for trading.
Thank you
@THC SCIENTIFIC and FC!
