This may help.

Look at: SYL-1512A  (Or any of the others, really...)

If you want to lock a temp down and use a light bulb or similar, this is
a pretty cheap way to go. I've used them for large soldering irons,
reptile incubators, and temp chambers. They work great if you need to
hold temp long to stabilize everything before a measurement. Very nice
units for the price.

I'm sure you know this, but watch your temp gradients in the chamber.

As we all know, step #1 in making a clock is NOT
to build a thermometer:-)

I thought I would check the brain trust here to see
if anyone has seen a hobbyist grade temperature
testing chamber or kit or homebrew design.  I
have some crystals, oscillators, and other
electronics I would like to characterize over
temperature.  I know this reflector has discussed
homebrew stabilization ovens; however, they
have tended to have very long time constants
(which makes sense for that application).  I
need to be able to change temperature in a
reasonable amount of time, and I don't need
extreme stability.  Looking for any ideas,
maybe in the "maker" spirit.  I think the
size I need would be perhaps 1/2 the size
of a shoebox.

BTW, in case someone has a chamber to sell,
let me know...
