I was able to pick one up in 2000 from a Salvation Army type place. Think it was made in 1976 and had one owner before. One of the coils does not work and the top was in poor shape. The seams were weak and some of the bricks were crumbling. I took a buncha hose clamps, connected them to make a huge loop and fit it around the lid. Tightened all the screws and the lid pulled together. Oh yeah, replaced the cord also. Think the old one had some wires exposed. Got a new one at Home Depot for $15 and took about twenty minutes to install. Paid $50 for the kiln and it fires great. I think my next one will be a Skutt. What kinda kiln do you have?
