, posted Tue 22 Jan 20:11  
Helping a friend out since I have been to HVAC school. His 35
year old Williamson was beneath a foot of sewer backup in his
basement. It fried his strip gage and am trying to repair it, since no parts seem available anywhere. Does anyone know where
I can pick up the two Fredericks Control Relays that are used
in this model or if Fredericks was bought out by some other
company located in Fredericks, Maryland? Any suggestions. Rather
than install a complete new controls, I have suggested since we
don't seem to be able to find replacements, that pouring an entire new control system is a waste of money. Any ideas?

If this is a natural gas furnace and it has been under sewage get it out of the house. Any insulation in the furnace will be filled with bacteria if there is any in a 35 year old furnace. If the sewer backed up most home insurance policies will cover replacement of ruined appliances. A 35 year old furnace is not worth saving for him do him a favour give him a good price and get it out.
