I'm not sure if my message was received so excuse me for sending it a second
time. I have an electric kiln, from the Good Kiln Mfg. I am trying to find
out if anyone knows about them or at least were they are sold. The modle
number is 20A. The woman I purchased it from had never even plugged it in,
so it is just as good as new. She was unsure if it goes to a ^8 or ^10. I
would appreciate any information I can get. Thanks in advance.

The Good Kiln company was located in Piqua, Ohio. They are no longer
in existance. I picked up the same model from someone moving out of
their house, and I have fired it to cone 8 for the past two years.
The kiln has four elements, and the switches use the resistance and
parrell(sic) and sequential wiring to achieve low (only one of each
element pair has current) medium (both elements have current, but ate
tied together end to end so the resistance is double the resistance on
one element) and high (both elements have current but they are
connected to that the resistance is 1/2 of a single element).
If you need to replace the elements, (as I did) you can call Euclid's
in Canada. The cost was $70.00 for all four.
The peep hole covers are funky, and they let little air in, or light
out so the kiln will take quite a while to cool.
After this time even unfired you should look at the "pigtail" for
connection as the insulation could be quite degraded.
All in all for free or $100 that I paid if is a nice small kiln.
