Info on an older Skutt kiln model

Hi there,

I am looking at purchasing a secondhand kiln but I am having trouble getting info on this specific model. Can anyone give me additional info on it or point me in the right direction in terms of where to look? I tried Skutt of course but can't find anything, as it looks like this was manufactured by a subsidiary but has the Skutt name.  The model is 1808. Please find attached a photo of the nameplate (not my photo, alas it's a bit blurry). Thanks in advance for any info or guidance as to specs.

Some info here:
Sandstone Manufacturing? - Equipment Use and Repair - Ceramic Arts Daily Community

Pottery Supply House still has this page up (Firecraft Kilns were made by Sandstone Manufacturing, it seems).
Firecraft Kilns – The Pottery Supply House (psh.ca)

You might try calling Skutt; they are typically very responsive.

The condition of the kiln - bricks, elements, wiring, etc. - that's important.
The temperature rating - what max temp can the kiln reliably and repeatedly achieve - that's important too.

PHS and/or Skutt may be able to help with the second point.
Another resource, try Euclid's Elements.
They are in Canada and sell elements for all manner of electric kilns; they may be able to help.
