It also says 50K on it as I photographed it to source the replacement, but never measured it  :palm: Nor do I seem to have kept the picture, however it was exactly the same as the one here except the marking was printed not pressed in.

I'd give it a go as well. At worst, the useful adjustment range will be 'compressed' so the calibration may change but it should work fine.

Jerry,
       I searched again today and cannot find the actual page but the "T2" people here, https://www.t2tea.com/en/ca/features/how-to-brew/how-to-brew-fundamentals.htm
At the top there is a list of the various types and their recommendations. I do recall that the figures I quoted were for the Oolong tea. All up, I reckon it's totally up to your choice which temp you choose. My mum for example made sure the kettle was boiling furiously before making a cuppa.
You make it you drink it I guess.
If you search for  'ideal temperature for tea brewing' you will get heaps of stuff to confuse you.
So, that sorted, back to Andrew's adventures.

John,

I'd go with your mum's method.

I only have so much detailed info from working 50odd years in chemical labs where the making of the tea was a critical operation, subject to much observation and experimentation, and occasionally using words, as Churchill said 'from the earlier letters in the dictionary' to descibe the results. The Operator was the biggest variable.
Employers would not go to the expense of specific teas, nor tea bags. In any case once brought up on Ceylon Teas, BrookeBond etc and the use of a tannin encrusted teapot you just got used to it. Strength and flavour being the main critererion. Some of the pots and their owners had gone through the war.

As you say back to Andrew's thread now.

So I decided to install the 50K pot. This entailed creating a Frankenstein Monster of a pot comprising the new body with the base incorporating the different mounting pins from the old pot.

Initial tests seem OK. I set the pot mid way, plumbed and powered it up, and got 95 deg C. Then wound the pot up to maximum and got 97.2 deg C which is just about right

Then I brush painted some conformal coating over where I've soldered to re-make the vapour protection that was there before.

Still very puzzling about the 28K / 50K conundrum  :scratch:
