Judy,
You can add a Bartlett controller for about
$250 if you are capable of building the rest
of the unit from components.
Modular controls are available from
Seattle Pottery Supply for around
$550.
Contact Dawson directly to get a
kiln sitter if you believe you must
have one. I don't think you need one
if you fire attended since you will
watch the witness cones anyway.

Would it be worth my while to tear apart the cage/box
and replace it with a new one? Where would I buy the
new/used box with kiln sitter?

thanks,
