Wanted: Digital Ranco Temperature Controller or equiv

My Ranco is throwing up the dreaded E2 error code again. It was isolated to Heating mode on F but now it is doing it in Cooling mode in both F and C modes so there is no getting around it. It is short cycling my freezer right now but it is FULL of beer and I don't want to unplug it.
Anyone have a good (=cheap) source for a replacement? I'd go for a different brand if they have the same thin probe that goes into my carboy thermowell.

I've got an unused analog Johnson Controls that needs wiring (which only takes a couple of minutes) you can borrow to keep the beer cold until you can source the digital.

I'll pick it up and wire it for you (hopefully) tomorrow (boss is out of town).
If I get it done before I go home tomorrow I drop it by.

Many thanks to all who helped save the beer!
The Ranco is running great.
