Sdainteriors Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hi! I am looking to purchase this wheel from a person and wanted to see if It’s a good idea and make sure that I’m not way over paying even though I am noticing even the 20 plus year old Brent’s are going quickly around here! It’s an older Brent cx for $700 i do throw both ways and was wondering if there are any tricks to reverse it? I am attaching a video and a pic for info thanks! I’m new to potting and absolutely fallen for it! I plan on throwing daily and incorporating my creations into my design business. Thanks!

Hulk Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Hi SDA, Welcome to the Forum! Am not seeing any attachments (image, video clip). Brent CXC without a reversing switch, may be ~forty years old*. Hard to say what a fair price would be; looks like new ones are $1700 (US dollars) or more. Hope you can give the unit a good test drive and thorough check-over. There should be three leads to the motor, green, red, black. Adding a switch to reverse the red and black wires should do it. Be sure the wheel is fully stopped before operating the switch! See this thread, "It looks like I just need to install a double pole/double throw switch on the red and black wires and I should be all set. Is this correct? Thanks."Adding Reverse Switch to Brent B Wheel - Equipment Use and Repair - Ceramic Arts Daily Community *Perusing the forum archives, forum regular Mark's 1982 Brent CXC did not come with a reversing switch; forum Admin Pres' late 1980s Brent CXC did come with a reversing switch.

neilestrick Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Personally, I would not pay $700 for a wheel that old. If the control board or motor goes out on it, it'll be $500 for a new one. Better to save up for a new one that you know will work for another 40 years.
