Thank you, Neil, I just read your response. I appreciate the info. I do plan on firing at cone 6. Food for thought... Babs, the kiln was given to me free. I do plan on testing for lead. I would be placing it in my basement workshop area that has a concrete floor, with a door and window on either side of it for ventilation. Thank you for the tips, if I can at least use it for bisque firing, that would be good.

The response from Cress Mfg was disappointing to say the least, the rep simply said that he "didn't recognize the kiln". That took no effort to help at all! Even I can see it's a Cress model by looking at pictures online. Poor service from the "Info" guy! So thank you, Neil for directing me to Cress, at least it's a place to start. Now I'm trying to figure out what model it is. I'm thinking C series (similar to C-11-H)? But I'm not finding too much info online, to figure it out for sure. And I'm not coming across any old manuals. If you know how to pinpoint the model and find a manual, please let me know. Do you think the photo in the link below, for model C-11-H, is close enough to mine, that I can use the same manual? https://offerup.com/item/detail/3199927 This one looks closer to mine, but the inside dimensions are 16x16x16, whereas mine is 11x11x11, not sure what model it is: https://www.shoppok.com/redding/a,42,86815,Cress-High-fire-electric-kiln-Cone6----350--Redding-.htm

Just looked up 328J... Cress kiln?

Neil, thank you! I'm sending photos to Cress, to see what they say. I attached a few more photos here, including the dial, kiln sitter, and anything with words, in case they might be a clue. Let me know if there's anything else you can tell me from the photos. I'm going to see if my boyfriend can help me out with testing the elements to get the amperage, and checking on the 3 or 4 wire circuit. I'll get back to you on that. Much appreciated!

Can anyone help me identify this old kiln that I just acquired? The label is missing, and I don't know anything about it, such as the manufacturer, model number, amps, volts, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated, so I can research it and find an instruction manual. Thanks!
