I am moving from West Cork to the United States and unfortunately some of the equipment I use for glass beading (lampwork) will not function in the States due to electrical differences
Basically I need to see if anyone is interested in buying a Paragon SC2 kiln with bead door and window and Sentry Xpress Digital Temperature Controller
I also have an oxygen concentrator which I used for an oxy-propane mix for my lampworking torch
asking price will be circa €500-€600
My mobile is 085 105 1439 for anyone interested.
I also will consider selling the torch and I have various tools, frit, glass which could be bundled if anyone is interested
Finally I have a large work bench that was built specifically for lamp working
