Old Amaco 15


GigiBH

Recommended Posts

I have an old amaco model 15 cone drive wheel. I replaced the belt and realigned the cone but I can’t get it to go up to speed in foreword or reverse. It seems like it’s trying but it’s just having a hard time. Do they have external capacitors? Any help would be appreciated

Start with calling Amaco, but hopefully someone with experience with that model will chime in here.

I have contacted Amaco and the tech I spoke with could not help me. I did look up links on YouTube on other cone driven wheels. I wish I could get ahold of an old Manuel   

 

Any luck tracking down a manual? I inherited an old Model 15 Amaco but it’s missing all belts. I’m hoping to get it running again.

Hi Darla,

Welcome to the Forum!

Gigi hasn't been on the Forum for quite some time; you might send them a message (go to their Profile page, select the Message button).

Isn't the Model 15 a cone drive?
Looks like The Ceramic Shop has some parts for the Model 15, including the drive ring

Aardvark Clay has "orange belt"

Please post an update on your findings?
