Has anyone else tried using the more common/less expensive TR4 panel light
rheostat as a substitute for the TR3 heater switch?  They look similar 
(exception
for the type of terminals) and have a similar feel (click to 'full on' then turn
to dim).  I suppose it is a question of rated amps -- though that blower motor
can't be too huge a load.
