Hello I was given an old Paragon B-66S-B Kiln to use, the owner might
want it back some day, fires to cone 6. Is Paragon still in business?
The kiln sitter has a bit of a problem from what he remember and I
would like to get some spare elements.

*kirk, I wouldn't know if PAragon is still in business but I should
imagine any reputable supplier could wind the elements for you if given
the number of elements and theilrngth of each element.As far as I can
recall Paragon used standard Kanthal wire. If the Kiln Sitter is a W.P.
Dawson parts should be even less of a problem...good luck. donOn Mon, 30 Sep

Paragon is still in business. I once bought a used Paragon and called the
company for information, they sold me a manual and were friendly and
helpful.
I've called them for other info, always helpful and nice. Most recently I
posted about a problem I was having with my Paragon, they were able to
diagnose the problem over the phone and recommend our next step. Great
company!

Someone posted (here, or on the rec.crafts.pottery newsgroup) the 800
number for Paragon, I don't have that, but their address is-
Paragon Industries
2011 South Town East Blvd.
Mesquite, Tx 75149

214-288-7557

Good luck !
Mishy
