2) Solder a single 33k resistor to cool the unit further. Buy this at Radio Shack, etc. Where am I putting this resistor? How? The diagram I saw in a different thread, but it was totally greek to me.

3) Setup a blower to cool the tube to lessen foam, such as the one Lunkhead posted about. I'll do this once I see the results from the first 2 mods.

I'm at work now, so I can't look around, but I reallly want this thing working without 90% foam for a party on the 31st, so I'm frantic for answers.

Thanks!
1)Your sensor is behind the grill plate on the LEFT lower wall of the inside of the unit, as you are looking into the unit. It just pries off. The sensor wire only stretches out about 6 - 8 inches, so I just pulled mine as far to the front as it would go, and electrical taped it to the wall in one of the railing recesses, so I didn't break it when putting in a keg.

2)you can unplug the sensor wire. You'll see where once you've completed step one. I was able to insert each side of the resistor into the female end of the plug, and then plug back in the sensor. That way you've got the resistor installed with no soldering. Othersise just seperate the two wires coming from the sensor, and solder one resistor lead to each of the wires. Basically bridging them.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery

be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
