Potterweaver Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm in the market for a wheel and found this. It's in the wrong part of the country for me, maybe somebody here would like it though. I'm a newbie here, I look forward to reading through the posts, http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/browse/search?posting=y&slth=&page=0&sortBy=timeLeft&keyWord=Pottery+&catId=-1&endHours=-1&startHours=-1&lowerPrice=0&higherPrice=0&milesLocation=-1&zipCode=®ion=&search=Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~howdy~ Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wish to thank you for your post. The wheel sold for around $160 I think. It was sold by a school that had changed instructors and their pottery equipment sat idle for many years.There also was a Skutt 1027-3 kiln for sale that was reported to not work. As I already had a wheel I did not bid more than $150 for the wheel and lost out to a higher bid. However needing a kiln I also bid for it. I got the seldom used, almost new, 10 year old kiln for $106 plus tax. I did have to transport it home from Michigan to Oregon but I needed to be in the area at the right time anyway. I was a happy camper!!!! Yesterday I took the control box to Skutt (about an hour away for where I live) and got everything I needed to replace the burned out wires. It was a simple task to replace the wires as Skutt makes it easy to work on the electronics. Total bill including the wires, seven peep plugs, and other stuff was $78. Skutt was wonderful to work with and they even tossed in some extra parts for free. Had I asked, they probably would have done all the repairs for me at no charge. Now I need to get the electrical wiring installed in my garage studio and I will be a full service potter. I often see kilns and wheels on the government auction website ( http://www.publicsurplus.com/ ) and have purchased several items over the years but this was my best score by far. Again thanks for letting us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
