Is there a trick to setting purity?

Doing an internet search got me to a few sites selling the replacement part of ZEN63-10710. I'm trying to find a place local to Hollywood, CA as the part 4.80 and the shipping is another 6.00. Kind of pricey.

Stay away from eBay - the same thermistor (a workman equivalent) is $24.95 But shipping is FREE.....

Encompass (formerly TriTronics) had my degauss thermistor about a year ago for 7 dollars, plus shipping, don't recall how much, but UPS is expensive these days. Mind you, Encompass is the worst for shipping time -about four days after ordering, they notified me it was being shipped. I figured I was a small fish compared to the repair shops buying their projection lamps and HDTV boards.

Cheers,

I just ordered it from the same place I order the OEM Zenith safety caps (Talon Electronics). Was 4.60 for the thermistor and 4.80 shipping. They were very fast at turnaround last time, so I don't mind spending a little more for shipping. I had the last ones in three days. They just sent me a shipping number, so I'm assuming it will be in the mail tomorrow and I'll have it by Wed.

I stay away from ebay for parts. I once order some capacitors and the +/- was way higher than the one pictured. It was a complete waste of time.
