Experience with Paragon kiln #A88B

Hi there, I have found a Paragon kiln model #A88B with 220V (that is
all I know) in a used shop. I would like to used it for casting and
possibly enameling. I understand that it is really for ceramics but I
figure I could use it for my purposes. They told me that the rods in
the cone are broken?. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Would you
guys buy it? What should I look for before purchasing a kiln?

Thanks,
Pouneh
