Wilt Model 200 Glass Annealing Oven- USED

**kevin18runner** · 11-10-2013, 09:05 AM

Wilt Model 200 Glass Annealing Oven:

Ok, here's the deal. I used to work as a glassblowers apprentice back in the day and by chance stumbled on this Wilt Annealing Oven at a massive property auction. The auctioneers had NO IDEA what it was that they were selling and I managed to snag it. I don't have the time to mess with it. I haven't plugged it in, but everything is there. I know it needs a new thermocouple, lower bed replacement, and a new handle welded on. The lathe is mechanically sound, opens/closes perfectly fine. I'm willing to deliver it myself to anywhere within a 10-12 hour drive (Mississippi). A great little steal. Message me if you're interested.

The serial number is 71332, model 200

I'll take 1,000 cash and we can discuss delivery based on where you're located.

Taking it to the scrapyard today if I get no offers by lunch. Really was hoping someone could make good use of it.

**blazemaster83** · 11-27-2013, 09:03 AM

That's really a shame. If I was close, I'd give you more than a scrapper. Awesome kiln...

**jwhite8** · 11-27-2013, 09:09 AM

What exactly would you use this kiln for?

**daveabr** · 11-27-2013, 10:18 AM

These are the ultimate tube production kiln. We use to fill a couple of them daily!

Turns out a Wilt 200 is worth almost exactly $200 in scrap metal. What a coincidence.

**tizzleh** · 03-09-2014, 11:28 AM

That S type thermocouple was worth the $200.00 alone.

I've got one of these. They were like 20k new. And no you cant build one of these in a day. Or buy the materials from Home Depot. This is/was a serious price of equipment, 500 lb counterweight
