Feeling the Heat
My brother showed how to check the spark on a bike when I was about 8 years old. He put a screwdriver up the cap and asked me to hold it by the shaft while he kicked it over. Its an audible method worked well.

Hi all and thanks so much for help solving my problem and the good read about our good old days :coolsmile: I received my parts from mouser electronics today and I had a bit if a time getting the solder out of the holes till I got my tiny drill bit set for torch tips and reamed out the holes, I soldered in the new relay and fuse. plugged it in and shazam, IT WORKS
! Thanks again so much and I still love my Quad stove.

That's GREAT NEWS! That sure was cheaper than buying a new box. Visit Radio Shack and ask for a 'solder sucker' and/or metal braiding that sucks the molten solder into the braid. Both work. Actually, if you are going to get any more parts from Mouser, I'm sure they sell them.
Again, glad your stove is back from the dead. As soon as my box is out of warranty, I'm cracking that baby open and put spares on the shelf!

Good idea - that way, you'll never need them! :cheese:
That's what happens to me, too! If I have them, I'll never need them. That's my preventative maintenance program. :lol:

I try to keep stuff together. If you have some good electrical tape you could tape them right to the control box because they don't take up much space.
Don't forget the 8 pin DIP socket. It makes it a lot easier to replace the chip if it fails again. No soldering.

10-4 on taping them inside the stove. I already have my spare adjustable snap switch in there! Definitely go for the DIP socket. I always used them when I was building stuff. I'm a Ham so I built some of my own aux equipment back when I could actually think straight. Now I'm amazed that I ever dreamed up some of the stuff!
