Ebay : Thermowell cover

**phoebe9435** · February 16th, 2006, 11:30 PM

New ebay listing 7591458419. I need one of these but I am concerned about the corosion. The seller has other chambers items as well.

I think I would pass on this one. It looks like some of the metal is corroded through to the core.

I noticed the seller says he/she thinks this could "easily be restored." That's quite a stretch. Thermowell lids don't look like they would take kindly to being dismantled. There are no screws or other fasteners, just crimped metal.

If you need a new one, then choose one that looks good and isn't rusty and dented all to bits.

TOAC has new reproduction lids. They're a little pricey, but if you want one now, it's an option.

Thanks everyone - I feel better now! Having not seen the real thing I didn't know how "restorable" they might be. I'll check the tip on TOAC and I also put an email oot to Hughes appliance. I am sure patience will win out and I eventually will have the full use of my Beauty. I am excited to think of making a thermobaker pie.

It says the seller is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm in a suburb of Tulsa, but I don't know who this is.

When they get bent up like that, they're prety much ruined.

Phoebe,

I'm in the market for a thermowell cover as well. Mine has a whole from rusting through. Probably had been washed and submersed in water at some point. Totally ruined. That one on Ebay looks worse than mine. I will probably take the hit at TOAC, unless I find one used somewhere else.

I'd wait for a decent one to show up on eBay, Frank - those places charge an AWFUL lot for them. You can usually find someone parting out a CHAMBERS on eBay every month or so...
