Pres Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 So I had a phone call from an old colleague and student in my adult classes. Seems her daughter was wishing to get rid of an American Beauty AB-18 kiln. Price was $50 with some other things included. I went on line to check on the kiln, and found that the bricks with slight changes would fit the Amaco Gold that I am rebuilding the bottom layer in. Picked up the kiln today, all in decent shape, 230V24A, lid crack 4 varied shelves. There were also several boxes of kiln furniture wire stilts, pyro bars, oodles of brushes, sponges and assorted other items. So when all was loaded in, I gave them a fifty dollar bill, and added a twenty to it. As I told my granddaughter later, I would have felt like I had stolen it from them even though they might have been happy, I would have worried over it, this way I am feeling fine, as I know they are. Did I do OK? I think I did, but then maybe I'm just a patsy. Best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy_in_GA Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 You know I love a deal ... If they said come get it, take it off our hands I wouldn't feel bad for it being free. But they did put a value on it so you can't cheat them. I think you got a great deal and they got a bunch of stuff cleaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pres Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 What are your plans, for the rebuilt kiln, you are working on? Kiln I am rebuilding is in great shape, fired once or twice. Bricks in bottom broke out letting coils drop. Replaced bricks in bottom shelf will allow full use. Smaller than my other kiln could be loaded full for bisque, load would be equal to glaze in big one. Nice thing is, no staying home all day and night to baby it along! I still would not go out/away, but would definitely be able to do other things while it was firing. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
