Jim, if it still "goes nuts" with the controller out, then it's an
internal gauge problem.  It's fixable if you're up to some reasonably
delicate soldering.  You have to drill out the face rivets, desolder
the fine leads to the heater coil, desolder and remove the circuit
board from the mounting posts, then replace the large capacitor,
preferably with a tantalum, observing polarity.  Then put it all back.
