I also have a couple of "Creative" models (1701871) I got on ebay for $9.95 ea, for spare parts. They are single heat units of the
same basic design, and do not get as hot as the "Personal" model (1701987 from Pulsar) set on high heat.
I have tested these with some higher temp snap switches, without suitable improvement so far. I don't think the housing can take
very much more heat without softening and warping. If I ever find a good configuration (without going to an external controller),
I'll post the results.

Yep, the 1701987 is the dual heat - MyBinding (Ebay storefront) says that model in "no longer available" and only offers the single
heat. For TT the low heat setting is never used anyway so the single heat should be a mute point.
I don't know if both laminators are 1870 or 1860 - I just don't see any difference in them. My understanding is that MyBinding
listed on Ebay is the distributor/importer - The are "Made in China".
I have the 1701987 model, but a buddy has one of the single heat version and it seems to be close to the same. The circuit inside is
different.
The two links I posted are for the two different models - OR they are for me.
http://tinyurl.com/29anbps is for Item number: 260612493226 (1860)
http://tinyurl.com/2b4nr8y is for Item number: 160358035559 (1870)
If you read the discriptions you will think they are for the same laminator.
