Hi @crazydoug my B-38 runs pretty much with in this heat range.  Though I don't know if the heater inside is original or not.  I know it has been apart as the shaft oiling port is misaligned (about 3 O'clock).  It bothers me to no end but I don't really want to take it apart. 

The heater messures out to be 36 ohms.
