I have it open and running 24V overnight. Yes, 40k is pretty low, but I'll see how it does after it's had some volts on it. While connected to the DMM, R slowly increases as time passes, so it is polarising as you might expect with damp.

It belonged to a parent who recently passed away, hence the interest in saving it. The heater is unlike anything I've seen before, as is the over-temp trip!

Thanks guys.
