I'm interested in buying a used wheel, either kick or electric. I'm in
Vestal, NY, and will drive up to 75 miles any direction to pick one up.
Please e-mail me direct or call 607 754-1303. Thanks.

Was lucky enough to find a used, old Amaco wheel for $50 about 10 years ago.
It was only 2 speeds forward, but had a great cast aluminum pan and was very
sturdy. After working on it for several years, I wanted the convenience of
variable speed so I converted it. Had to get a DC motor to replace the AC
and do some rewiring, but for about $100, I now have a wheel that is sturdier
than any of the new ones I have seen. Don't rule out an old 2 speed, if you
find one.

I have one of those old Amaco wheels you are talking about, and would LOVE
to have it changed to variable speed. Would you mind sending me more
particulars on how you did it? I really would appreciate it. Tank you!

Hi all,my Skutt wheel must be about 20 years old or so...I know it is no
longer made...but it is as sturdy as the day I got it; the only problem is
that the variable speed starts too high for comfortable trimming or applied
decoration. Does anyone out there know if this can be altered to zero and up
RPM s? You are right about not wishing to let our old wheels go...I keep
thinking I'll invite someone to learn to throw on it but I think I'm waiting
for someone to come along with the stars in their eyes that I had early
on,...any takers in this neck of the woods? Sunny south that is!! Lori in

Yes, It could be done, but the cost may be prohibitive. I am an Industrial
Electrician and there are many variable speed controllers for both AC and DC
motors. Suggest you look for a "motor" shop, perhaps you can find one who
can fix you up at a reasonable cost!

Hi Vivian:
Yes, your wheel speed can be adjusted. If I'm not mistaken there is a screw
driver adjustment inside that you can adjust the potentiometer with. I also
have a friend who is a specialist in this and I'll see if I can get hold of
him for you. Let me know the model number of your wheel.

Hi,
I am in Baltimore Md. Anyone in the area have a used wheel for sale
for a beginner? I can't afford a new one on my disability income.

Howdy- pretty simple really, just looking for a good price on a good
used wheel. Since I live in Montana, the closer to home the better.
First preference is a combo kick/electric, second kick, then electric.
Any good ones out there for sale you know about? thanks

Hi everyone,
I am new to the site, and also relatively new to pottery, so I'm hoping to
get a little advice from you re: a used kiln that I am considering buying.
It is an evenheat perfect fire 2322 that is approx 6 years old and has been
used for ceramics. The inside of the kiln is nearly perfect with no cracked
bricks. There is a very small chip in of one of the bricks on the sidewall.
The kiln is rated to 2300 degrees F. The studio where I take classes fires
to cone 5-6. I believe that this kiln will meet my needs but was wondering
if anyone has experience with the evenheat brand and if it will fire to cone
5-6. The evenheat website says that this kiln is recommended primarily for
low fire 02-03, yet the evenheat rep that I spoke to on the phone says that
this kiln will fire to cone 5-6. Call me confused, but I don't want to end
up with a kiln that I can't use, or pass up a good buy if it will work for
me.
Thanks!
Cheryl
Jim V Brooks on tue 28 may 02
Cheryl, most kiln literature would call a kiln rated for 2300 degrees a
cone 8 Kiln.. If will fire to cone 5-6 . However, firing it higher than
that
would have an adverse effect on the elements. (So, watch overfires).... If
you have a phone number for Evenheat.. find out about getting a catalog,,
cost of replacement elements, and how can you order from them via phone and
if they ship via USmail/UPS etc..
