I'm not sure about replacing it with a non electonic heater. But I just sent mine in today to ASI to get fix. I bought the repair on ebay for $98 which included shipping both ways. I'll let you know if it works when it comes back and how long it took. I tried to find local parts but they were all broke as well. Good luck. BTW my buttons also didn't work so I took the unit completely apart and just put it back together and they seemed to work.
Yeah it's looking like I'll have to do the same with mine. It's easier than trying to swap to an old manual unit. Can you point me toward the eBay listing you used?
