Well Smaokey, the thermistor was encapulated in epoxy, but I got it out. The device is about 3/8" long, very small in circumference, and is orange with a clear band running around the middle, but no numbers.When cold (room temperature), it reads about 200K, and goes down to about 100K with heat.
I'm going to take to the local B dealer and see what they can do. I though of trying at the local electronics shop, but not knowing its specs, it would be difficult to substitute.
