LF: STC-1000 Temperature probe

So...I've ended up with a STC-1000 temperature controller, but it has no temperature sensor. I've looked for replacements online; best I can find are some resistors that can be wired and potentially used. Thought I would check here for to see what others may have done in the same situation or if there is an extra probe out there to be had before I start ordering pieces.

I read somewhere that an aquarium temp sensor may work. It would be water proof as well.
A pet store may have something, or a hydroponics store as well.
I think the key is that is be 10Kohm thermistor.

I might have one you could try... but I replaced the entire unit because the readings were way off, which could be because the probe was no good. I didn't test it, just got a whole new one.

You can have the probe if you want to hook it up and give it a try.

Don't know if you are in a hurry but if you go to aliexpress.com and search for "10k thermistor stainless"
There are a load and as cheap as $12 for 5 (full leads) inc free shipping. I buy a load of stuff off ali. Great deals to be had. Quickest (cheap) shipping is ali std or epacket but still wait at least 3 weeks.
