I have a WP home electric mattress pad cover that I found in a house I'm cleaning out. I need the controls to go with it. The tag on the mattress pad says model 2130 & it's dual control. I tried eBay, no luck. Where can I find this controller?

There are dual controllers on eBay...maybe the company can tell you if the model you have is interchangeable with any of the other models:

Please be very careful with this since you don't know the history. I have seen these go bad fast and spark and cause issues. If you don't know the history of it, you may want to forgo using it. That is just me (and I LOVE free stuff and finds), but I do not mess with electricity!! Especially something that is going to be touching my bed or my body!!
Don't even get me started on the fear of bedbugs....YUCK!!! Personally, I would ditch it....but I am like that....sorry to be a debbie downer!
You would be best off contacting the manufacturer.
Does the pad look new? Otherwise I believe you should discard it as the person leaving it may have had a reason for doing so.
These pads can be rendered useless (maybe dangerous) if laundered improperly or maybe even folded and stored improperly.
I searched several regular sites as well as some "odd" sites and did not see any model numbers even remotely similar to 2130 so that is odd for a well known brand like WestPoint.
It seems there are several similar names so that might be a problem also:
WestPoint Home which shows on some controllers but their web site lists several brand names but does not list WestPoint Home as one of the brand names (?).

Some controls also have the name WestPoint Stevens so most of this is confusing to me but maybe you can do more research and find a model that will match the pad you have.
The cost of dual controls (double or single) will probably be $18-$25 and most likely not returnable if they do not work or the pad does not work.
I have had the best luck re-furbishing old mechanical items by contacting the manufacturer and asking about parts. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes they don't make them anymore. The only other way is to purchase another one, but that kinda contradicts the whole reason for saving the old one...when I go thrift shop hopping I always carry a list of items I need parts for, just in case they have one they are selling.
