Does anyone have any information (or can point me to a link) for a Skutt 231X kiln? I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy one. I've googled and can't find any info on this model, so I'm assuming it's not in production any more. The person selling it says it's a never-been-fired kiln, but I have no idea what the specs are or what it's worth.
TIA.

I would recommend that you call or contact Skutt. I came up with this - you might email the poster.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" skutt kiln controls oh heck updated fri 22 jan 99
Jonathan Kirkendall on mon 19 oct 98 ( snipped-for-privacy@erols.com) Hi All,
Here's something I don't know even where to start with:
I have a Skutt 231X (an old model) with controls on three levels. Just did a very succesful cone 6 firing yesterday, and loaded a bisque today, but now the darn thing won't come on. With the cone sitter set, and all switches on OFF, the light indicating the kiln is on comes on, but as soon as I turn any of the switches to low, the light goes off and nothing happens, none of the elements warm up. The elements are all new, I think this is a switch problem but, as I said, I don't even know where to begin. Help.
See
Thanks! It seems that the 231 is equivalent to the 1027, but I have no idea what the "X" stands for in 231X. At least I have *some* idea about what it might be like.

skutt is really good about talking to you about older kilns. i bought a 20 y.o. kiln and they sent me a manual for it for free.
