If this is like the Alpines we had at school in the 70's then there really isn't much point in "disassembling" it. That steel frame is HEAVY DUTY. If you can't get it out without disassembly, how did they get it in? Build the mansion around it?

Subject: Kiln For Sale
Hi Everyone,
I'm in the market for a kiln so I've been watching Ebay etc faithfully of late. Due to it's size, I thought I'd pass the following ad along to interested Chicago area ClayArters. It doesn't have a reserve so it might be worth the "looksee." Sounds like its ^14 forced draft gas. Probably 16 cu ft. Wish I were within 1000 miles of this or I'd go get it myself.
Maybe someone here needs it. Here's the item number on Ebay: 104752433770
Best,
Beth Eisenberg-Schapera
(PS. This is NOT my kiln for sale and unfortunately, I don't know anything about it.)

Alpine Gas fired Industrial Production Kiln
Model HF-16
Serial #1776
Exterior dimensions: 63" x 57" x 36" deep (not including hood) Interior dimensions: 42" x 36" x 23 1/2" - 26"
2 electric blowers
Due to sale of house this kiln, which cost several thousand dollars, will be sold with no reserve to the high bidder who can remove it by July 30th, 2006 from Evanston, IL.
Kiln was purchased in the 1970's and used by a ceramic artist up until her health failed recently. This is located in the basement of an Evanston mansion and must be disassembled to be moved. Original owners manuals and assembly instructions are included. Firebricks may be mortared and may need to be disassembled to move. I know the bricks in the door stay put when moving but I'm not sure about the sides and floor.
