clayclay Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I know this is a very beginner question, and I apologize in advance if the answer is very obvious, but I am looking at a listing for a kiln and I asked the seller to send me a picture of the face plate so I could see the kiln model. I can't find anything here that says the model. Is there something I'm missing? (sorry about it being rotated, it was sent to me like this. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 There's no model there, it's a plate with the electric info stamped onto it. Ask for that. People think the kiln sitter is the model number but it's not. This is an example of a plate, it's not on a kiln but a kiln will have one very similar. This is from my lathe at work.

oldlady Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 tell the owner to look at the right side of the red painted section that sticks out. whatever the price is, that is a very old kiln so find out as much as you can. was it used for only earthenware, low firing temperatures, or how often was it used? can you get a photo of the inside, (hold the camera down in the middle and get a shot of the wires in their grooves) is it still in use today or has it been in storage for a time? there are lots of previous posts about what to look for in a used kiln, try to find them.

neilestrick Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 It's usually on the side of the control box. That's an Evenheat kiln, btw. On some old kilns the serial plate has fallen off. If that's the case, forward the pictures to Evenheat and they'll be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
