Old(ish) Reset Control

Has anyone seen this “ISTA” reset control before?
I’ve been a commercial service tech for 11 years now and have never seen one of these before. It looks a lot like the Honeywell. I can’t find any info on it either. It says “Tour and Andersson” on the dial which I have dealt with before with 3-way valves.

In the Fifties , there was a Bakelite model that used vacuum tubes .... Before that I know there was a manual reset where you moved a counter weight along a marked arm connected to boiler temp sensor ... The arm was connected with chain to the coal damper ... Which used the same curve chart we use today...

So what you’re saying is, this isn’t old! Haha. For a guy my age it’s a little bit old though. I never got to experience the ones you’re describing.

Neither did I , The techs before me disconnected them way before me .The vacuum tube model , I was told had a connection to the built in kitchen clock.. 180* winter 160* summer was drilled in our heads . Every ,less now and then you can spot one.. Not sure if they where call resets back then
The manual reset model , I have only seen on the original card board instructions hanging on a beam in the cellar ...
Surprise your model is still working , The processors back then were not so good. Then add the I don't know cut it out fixers ...

This one is resetting the setpoint of an old American Standard cast iron boiler. The thing runs under 140 degrees most of the year probably and is still in one piece. I was told they want to scrap the control and put a T775R on it. I said just leave it be until the boiler is replaced then do it properly with a 3-way valve or primary/secondary at least. I guarantee a modern cast iron boiler isn’t going to last as long running at 120 degrees.Never stop learning.1
