Default Recomended PWM fan controller?

After many years my fan controller quit working and I have been reading reviews on the Derale units. Not sure if that's the direction I need to go. The 427 was expensive so I don't want to be stingy, but am looking for one that will do the job for a long time.
Been a while since I've been on here,.......retired now and got busy.

Maybe contact some one like Painless Wiring in TX and see what they can supply?

I had two Derales...I dont recommend them,,,the second was to replace the first that was only a few years old...Im using a Dakota digital controller now, its not a PWM but I dont really car anymore. It works great, its programmable and I can use it with bluetooth if I have too, never have since I set it up though..

The one I have is a Delta Current unit.and a fairly simple one that lasted decades.....Guess I'll give them a call. The Derales have gotten a lot of horrible reviews so no sense going down that rabbit hole.
