    Supposedly the thermocouples providing the signal to the slow down lights are J Type. This is what I found about J Types:

    Type J (Iron / Constantan)
    Limited range (-40 to +750°C) makes type J less popular than type K. The main application is with old equipment that cannot accept 'modern' thermocouples. J types should not be used above 760°C as an abrupt magnetic transformation will cause permanent decalibration.

    How hot do the Cats get? Would any J Type Thermo couple work? I am trying to find replacements for mine.

    Thanks,
