This is an old front-loading bench-mounted kiln. There were several versions of the: the G Series and the GD Series and several sizes. The GS1714 is currently made by our sister company L&L Special Furnace Co., Inc. All parts can be ordered through them.
There were several iterations of the G1714 model before we settled on the GS1714 design. First was the G1714, without bottom elements. Then the GD1714, again without bottom elements but with a slightly more refined case design. The GQ1714 was the first with a multiple-voltage element design with all (10) elements - top, sides and bottom. The GS1714 is the current version, and the GQ1714 and GS1714 have the same element information.
