      Safe trip Marcia.

  8. Firing ceramic and foil sag gars today.

  9. After 16 years with my bailey wheel, I replaced the potentiometer in the foot pedal. It is running and stopping just fine. The problem was that all of a sudden it would lurch when I turned on the motor. It is now fine.

      Did you take picture of repair I may have issues with my pedal?

    2. Marcia Selsor

      Marcia Selsor

      no. I called bailey, described the problem and they sent me the parts. Disassemmbled the foot pedal, cut the solder ed wire off the old potentiometer, rewired the new one and put the pedal back together. They sent a three page instruction with all the info about the pedal. easy to do.

       

       

  10. after 16 years without any repairs to my Bailey wheel, today I replaced the potentiometer

  11. Just found out I won third place in the Texas Clay Art Association's 2014 Six-pack show. It was a small foil sagger-fired pot.
