at all. What are the things I should consider when buying an electric kiln
that has sat for a long time? The owner said it has been kept dry and out o=

of course buy it.
think of an older kiln as a toaster.
three switches=3D2C and coils.
not much can go wrong.
=3D20
and anyone knows=3D2C low ball.
if they want to get rid of it....they
may just give it to you. or for a few hundred.
they are golden.
=3D20
don't screw around...take it.
or=3D2C someone else will.
