Hey Nug
John at Johns-Arcades should be able to help you, Mike Homepin does kits for these I believe.

EMI filter
Electro Magnetic Interference, reduces excessive noise in electronics which may corrupt CPU data is my understanding.

Thermistors are usually in electrical windings and act on thermal properties breaking circuit usually via a bi-metal strip.
