So, instead of queuing to work on repairing or upgrading your dead cursit, I suggest you line up a robustly-designed controller to purchase when this, your replacement cursit, dies (start saving your money now, and don't spend any $ on your dead cursit).
I agree that better controllers exist on the market. If I had to pay retail I would spend a bit more for a Zilla 1K or ZEVA or something along those lines. But since I was able to find a used controller the ability to just bolt it in with no other changes was a large benefit.
If having a lead foot (strong acceleration use) with the cursit will cause a controller failure sooner, then isn't there a simple RC (resistor, capacitor) circuit one could put at the cursit controller (pot-box) input (slows the acceleration attack ramp to a slower rise, etc.)?
I can control the lead foot, so an extra resistor (or modifying the twist pot control on the Curtis) wouldn't be of much extra use (and just get in the way if I do need to floor it in an emergency).
