In early June 2008 I bought an old Vigor Burnout Furnace (model CA 1065)
for $95 from a seller on Craigslist. The furnace appears to have been
built in 1979, but does work.
Wow Joe, that was me you got that thing from. HA. I guess I should have
recognized you as an RCM'er, I've seen your posts here plenty of times.
Well, I'll be damned. Stands to reason, I suppose.
In any event, glad that thing worked out for you. That was about what I
was planning on doing with it, converting to an Omega control. We use
loads of the Omega CN9000 series. Self tuning and very reliable.
How about CN7500 series?
I stumbled on a near looks like new Ney-Dental Vulcan box furnace, the
box is about 16" cube with a fancy-pants multi-step ramping digital
control.
I looked at those fancy controllers, but it seemed like a lot of trouble
to program for one-off jobs.
Good for 1100C, It was being disposed of because of a minor
electrical issue that was easily fixed, so I got it for a price I could
not refuse.
Isn't that a RCM staple - stuff tossed for lack of a fuse - and the
knowledge to replace it.
Glad that worked out for you joe. Pleasure to meet you!
Thanks. Likewise.
