pp38 upgrade

[twobanger]

I 'm new here, hello. I have a pp38 that is showing it's age and I would like to upgrade. I see upgrade kits to the newer three knob units but I would LOVE to also do self ignition. Can somebody steer me towards a complete kit and video to do this?

I would think you have to get a different burn pot, p43 board, not sure of what else. Recall someone here did it. I did the 3 knob board upgrade few years ago and wish I had done it sooner..

No kit,no video.But you can find directions to upgrade a P61,the same,just different parts.

Can a Harman P38 be upgraded to auto lite?

Hello If the newer Harman P38s have the older Harman P61 control board, then is it possible to change it to the P61A control board and change the burn pot and ad the ignitor?

Harman P38 to P43 conversion

I just converted the old P38 to a P43. It did not take as much time as I expected! What a difference! It is my basement stove. Holds temp perfect and seems to be using much less fuel!

Is your circuit board currently flush mounted on the side of the hopper or is it counter sunk in? If it is flush mount, the hole needs opened up with snips and I cut the ell bend off the new Plate and screwed it into place. If your board is set in the plate should fit right up.

Cost is roughly $800 in parts to convert it but well worth it in my opinion.
