My ancient AIM 84J kiln thermo probe somehow got about 1/4" of the ceramic (?) chipped off. The wires are undamaged but exposed for the length of the chip. I've been unable to find the thermocouple part on the Internet. This is an analog kiln.
Does anyone have a source for the thermocouple or a replacement part recommendation? I mainly just use the kilns to fire paint.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: AIM thermocoupler insulation chipped.
you might also consider buying a new thermocouple that has the insulation on it. I'm pretty sure those are a type K and are not very expensive. I've purchased them from ebay before. It might be good to buy one just to have a spare.

Excellent Advise! All the AIM links I found were dead. Have sent them a request for a new thermocouple.
I also am going to buy a spare.
Again, thanks so much for the help!
