I've woke up to a cold house twice - both on a Sunday morning, one around zero, the other 10 below. Got lucky both times, first was a burnt up motor, Northern Hydraulics (think it's Northern Tool now) had a generic motor that fit just right, and the second time found a broken wire going to the winding on the gas valve solenoid, one of them hair thin red varnished types. I have a box of assorted wire I've salvaged (yeah, I'm a pack rat for hardware), had a piece just a bit larger gauge, soldered it in and it lasted till I replaced the furnace a few years later. It was a pilot light model, and - here, anyway - they won't replace pilot light ignitions, hafta upgrade to electronic ignition, not cheap! So it cost me a couple drops of solder and a penny or two of electricity...

That won't work. There are sound files attached to it. It is not just graphics. Actually without the sounds it isn't much. PM me an e-mail address and I will send it to you.
