pit viper fan questions

[ironbrew]

I've been running a BBQ Guru with the Pit Viper for several years. The unit has been great. Mostly. I've had to re-solder the wires to the fan about 3 times now (note, this is an older and WELL USED unit so I'm not complaining). I'm wondering if the newer units have better strain relief or some other way to prevent damage? I'm going to order a spare as this particular repair was... well, my eye's aren't what they used to be, I've just moved, and I haven't got my 3'rd hand/magnifying setup for the soldering iron found yet. Not to mention the old and shaky stuff...

Thanks in advance.

Have you thought about buying a replacement fan? I've replaced mine with all new wiring. It might be a cheaper way if you have the hardware already for it.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get this in Canada at a reasonable price...

Sorry, I had the wrong impression of this thread. I'm a toxicologist. I'm a fan of the animals, pit vipers.

Carry on!
