That looks like it will get up and boogie

Wow, didn’t even realize. Well, the answers are there for the next guy, I suppose.

Very possibly normal behavior. The late 60s cars with ATC also chattered when they reached/around the set temperature. Not sure when the system was redesigned, but probably same basic system.

Looking good! You’re making swift progress on everything!
