That unit is still in operation--gave it to a friend; I have central air now. The coil of the relay can use plus or minus a few volts as long as the coil engages securely. So a 9V wall wart *may* engage a 12V coil relay. Use old junk you have already, take a relay from one of those cars! Also found a …

The heavy duty switch could be selected for heating or air conditioning, so that the thermostat would either "turn on" or "turn off" the appliance plugged into it. Worked great, but have no real need for it anymore. I did something …

I think it had something to do with preserving the leather. It took them years to go crazy though. Hell, glow in the dark watches were made with radium back in the day, and watchmakers died from radiation poisoning because they licked the bristles of the paintbrushes to smooth them out. Bristles that had radium on them. But anyway, I digress lol! Yeah, I had heard …
