Snowtrooper Ab/ Han's Hoth communicator DIsk **Mint Thermostat Found 04/06/21**

Re: Snowtrooper Ab/ Han's Hoth communicator DIsk research

The modern snap disc thermostat looks really close. Maybe a vintage aircraft thermostat cover? Similar to a Klixon C4370 thermostat which has the three circles.
hmmmm Worth chasing , they did use a lot of airplane parts.

This is one of the things I've been looking at for awhile. The Klixon gives the style to suggest, and snap disks have that overall appearance, but I've not seen anything standalone from the standard single, flat top w/ side mounting flange.

I really believe that this disc design is more of a decorative than a functional as it seems most plugs, caps, etc. all maintain a simple, plain design.

Alternatively, I'm curious to identify what the technical process or name is for adding this notch is? I think identifying that aspect of the part would push us closer to discovering it's real function, as perhaps that added feature is served for a specific area of industry.

Anyone got any ideas?

is the term not "crimping" ?

Cross posting this from the other thread.


Not quite the part, but definitely points to the disc being some form of appliance thermostat given this particular version displays pretty much all identical features

Re: Snowtrooper Ab/ Han's Hoth communicator DIsk research

Have any of the rest of the parts been identified?
My thought is, since these are all found bits, could they have come off of
the same whatever? I know as a random oddments collector, I often throw the bits into the same box.
The top of the Hoth scanner has some unique parts as well...

I’m glad you were able to find it! I spent quite a bit of time one day looking for it for you.

9 years for me..oh god. It better end here. If I can't get my hands on these because of technical issues I'm going to be so pissed

Good luck with this. I have no South African contacts (apart from a couple people local to me who are from there), but I'll do what I can to help, if needs be.
