Default cooler thermostat help

Each of the evaporators in the apple cooler has a thermostat like item C on
page 603 of http://www.mcmaster.com/ They are mounted on the 13' ceiling in
the dark area behind the evaporator. I have to climb to the top of a 10 foot
step ladder to adjust them and they need several adjustments per season. My
old tired eyes almost can't see the dial anymore, trying to look through
bifocals to the ceiling while holding a flashlight and leaning over a stack
of apple boxes just ain't fun.

There are standard thermostats with a capillary tube and a
remote sensing bulb. Generally, they con'd come with VERY long
tubes, but 6 feet is no problem. You should be able to put the
part with the dial in a more convenient place. You should be
able to find these at a refrigeration supply outfit.
