    Cool Wilt Model 200 Glass Annealing Oven- USED

    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

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

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

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

    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
