Ya I am existed to get it cleaned up and start rolling with it.  I also what it see if I can make a mini gas forge out of the soldering iron heater.  Think it would be kinda fun.

Yes that's a gas furnace for real soldering irons. Note that the white "fluffy" stuff inside is probably asbestos, so take appropriate caution. The unit looks to need to be relined anyways.

Contact "Johnson Gas Appliance" company, they're renouned for supporting their product I'd be surprised if you couldn't just a new, a non-asbestos liner kit.

matto, if you have further interest in the Johnson soldering furnace, there's a recent thread over on the weldingweb with info on them.  Search "soldering tower".  The Johnson heaters are down the page several messages.  I refrain from posting links to other forums in respect for Glenn and IFI.

Thanks Arkie I will look in to it, Yaggy crazy thing is it was still cold and aged nicely. 

Arkie neat video on the Johnson.  Now I need to get it cleaned up and running.

Ceramic blanket works almost as well as asbestos a layer of kiln wash should do it if Johnson Appliance no longer supports that model and NO they don't use asbestos anymore..
