The thermostat wiring will be the full ~120VAC/high-current. But I was thinking more in terms of mounting one of the thermostats like the one in your A/C in a box and mounting THAT on the wall. It won't be calibrated just like it isn't cal'd now (i.e. won't be marked in degrees and such), but it should work.
If you're thinking more along the lines of like what your house has, that'll take a bit more work (i.e. standard thermostat, 24v power supply, a relay, etc.etc.etc) but I think it could be done without much problem. Just gotta round up the pieces/parts.

driver if there is a diff. in the wire size pls be careful.. they are two diff. beast.
one carries 110v and the other carries milivolts..one starts a fan motor and compreser and the other simply sets a relay...

That's what I was thinking it was. It's a relatively common, standard, thermostat for A/C units.
dime-to-a-dollar says if you find an old broken house A/C unit laying around somewhere, or any other A/C unit for that matter, you'll find a switch just like it.
I'm thinking in terms that if the wire got hot enough to melt itself off, I'm wondering what kind of damage it may have done to the actual temperature sensing element inside the thermostat and whether or not it'll fail in the future.
