I just bought a used Keystoker 105 from a guy and it has a Honeywell dial thermostat. Can i replace that with a digital one and if yes which one would be the best? this coal stuff is all new to me, what exactly do this thermostat control?

I have a 90 and once the house is up to temp I just dial an increase or decrease manually. Try this first.

A digital thermostat should work just fine as long as it's not a power robbing type. A normal, inexpensive one that uses batteries would work.
