I was thinking that's the way to go.

I got a nice manual heated platen press from the makerspace. They didn't understand it or what they could do with it and were getting rid of it. Unfortunately, their first step was to remove the housing from the base that held all the controls and guage and throw them away.

So I have the press and heaters, but no control circuit. Parts aren't all that easy to find.
