Last time I tried designing my own DC amplifier for the field winding of an AC generator it looked like crap, worked but burnt out in about 30 seconds... Hence why i'm not an electronics engineer.

something like this would work, http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=CDTX90 I would need the transmitter for $620 plus probe $320... just a wee bit iver the budget, there must be a more economical transmitter out there.
