Here are some pics of my moly furnace for Jack and whoever else. You can see my two fuji's there, the lower is the overtemp. and the panel meter and the transformer back behind. The scr is in the front box. The door kill is a cheap Grainger snap action switch. This turns out to be quite less hard than I thought, at least in hindsite. I had to use basically just the kanthal super handbook and some intuition to do the build. It was quite the intellectual exercise for me, a math moron. I had to figure out the element size/voltage specs and everything. Long story but the guy who I paid to help me turned out to be a real egg-slurper. Anyhoo it is cruising right along, hitch-free, knock wood. The door works real slick, quiet and soft. I used an exhaust restrictor on the air cylinder foot pedal, which is totally the way to do it. Jack or anyone, I can hook you up with the Chinese element supplier and I can help talk people through this in general.
