In my last post, I was disusing a problem with my original Sol-Aire furnace in my '75 coach. I traced the problem to a bad flame sensor, then I broke it when I was re-installing it the second time. Bottom line is I'm screwed unless I can find someone who has one from an old furnace, or someone who knows of a work around for this obsolete part.

I already checked with Nick at Applied and he said no dice. There is one old school RV shop locally that I will check with, but I'm not holding out much hope for them having this obsolete part. It has two wire tabs and screws into the furnace, but otherwise looks like a pretty standard part.

Any suggestions, or does anyone possibly have an old Sol-Aire you have replaced that might have one I could buy from you?

Thanks.

Carl,
If it were me I'd Google "rv flame sensor" and click on images. Then I'd look for one that was the same.
You'd have to match voltages, etc. but you might luck out.

No luck there. I also went through all the listings on both Amazon and Ebay with no luck there either.
