Free Kiln!

This kiln is originally from Sunview school in Lyndhurst.  It has been checked & all it needs is a thermostat. (It is currently not working).  All the coils light up.  It is free to good home.  It weighs about 300 lbs so you would have to make arrangements to pick it up yourself from Tom’s home (in his garage).  Tom lives in Lyndhurst, off Richmond near Anderson Rd, but preferred  if I'd be the contact person.   Mary Anne Barbic  maebarbic@gmail.com  (Images Above)
