July 15, 20169 yr Some things I found in an old building old Allen wrenches big ones are 1 3/16" and 1 1/8" cute little post drill and I think it is a soldering iron heater??
July 15, 20169 yr Good Morning, I have a Bead Roller just like your picture. Works great, even sitting under the bench, gathering Dust Bunnies. Neil
July 15, 20169 yr Author 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.
July 15, 20169 yr 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.
July 15, 20169 yr 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. Frosty The Lucky.
July 15, 20169 yr Author Thanks DSW and Frosty, I was thinking it might be asbestos and will try contacting Johnson gas.
July 15, 20169 yr 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.

July 16, 20169 yr Author 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.
July 17, 20169 yr 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.. Frosty The Lucky.
