I'll take 2 unless they are spoken for.

Will any of the new ones be the 24V variety?
Zeus,
Here's a picture of the ones I bought from you. BTW - they work great!
Not the best pic, but you'll notice that the first one on the left is activated.

Just received 4 of the C-23-01's. They are perfect. Thanks Paul.
Paul,
Here are some pics of the panel I built with the contactors I got from you.

Thanks for the parts!

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask, but still don't understand what contactors are for. I know you said they pull a coil when you flip a switch, but why cant you just use a 240V rated toggle switch and bypass the contactor? I am looking to make a simple 240V system and I don't want to miss a good deal before they are all gone because of my arrogance!
EDIT: I have been trying to read up on the use of these and it seems like it is a safety measure which would allow you to physically disconnect both hot lines from the element as opposed to a simple switch which would only disconnect 1 hot line leaving 1 hot line on the element. However one could get a 2 pole (if that is correct) switch that would disconnect both lines correct?
Disclaimer: I'm a novice at this. A contactor is like a relay, except designed for higher current ratings. That is, it is an electrically controlled switch. The idea is that you have a circuit with a much lower power level that you use to control a much higher switched circuit. So, for this application (your brewery), the switch on your control panel THAT YOU TOUCH will be the lower power one and it is ued to switch (via the contractor) the higher amperage 240vAC circuit. Quite simply, it is a safety device, but not only for the reason you stated above.
I'd like some but I'm not sure how many. I'm going to be running a bk and holt with 5500w 240v element in each and. rims tube with a 1500w 120v element. can u pm me with suggestions and payment info? thx
and then I have two that I use to switch my RIMS and my BK elements from 110 to 220.
Can you discuss/show a wiring diagram for this?
Thanks.
