Hi Tommy
We also have an American Beauty,
due for a facelift before installation in it's new home.
Do you have any idea where to go for a manual or specs for these kilns??

I really have no idea who is the custodian of the American Beauty
information...surely there is some out there somewhere.
If you need information on elements, I am sure that Euclid's has the specs
for them, as for the switches and such, if one goes out then I would just
take it off and go to the local supply house and get a matching one. I have
been contemplating replacing the simple on/off switches with some infinity
switches, or possibly even fitting on a controller. Anybody have any
bright idears???
