My new OLD Skutt 231 Kiln, walkthrough, and comparison to a Skutt 1027

I've been firing my pots in a tiny Paragon Caldera kiln. Now that I've been doing pottery for awhile, and think I'll keep doing it, I started looking to upgrade to something bigger. Here I do a walk through of the Skutt 231 kiln I found. I go over the condition and how the Kiln Sitter and other electrical components work. I found the wiring diagrams on Skutt's website and walk though those. I also compare this kiln and it's wiring to a modern Skutt KM-1027.

Here are links to some of the documents I found from Skutt on these kilns:
