Have a word with Dave (forgebear) he sells HL parts
he lists some of them on ebay here http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/forgebear&ssP ... X:SELLERID" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
you need a S&S TX and the reciever and a RX 14 or 18 board plus the cables that connect every thing up, personaly I would use the RX18 board
here is daves listing for the RX18

seems the only viable option is to buy a complete new tank and start again .......unless i can get hold of a cosmetic damaged tank and selvedge the electronics
shame when i got so many tanks ,,,,,,,, think the other half is going to have a fit .

The transmitter idea works well for me,4 tanks two transmitters. Here is the smoker you asked about as well. Blake
