Factory Reconditioned RTC LA-306 IR Belt Furnaces

At 50-60% of the price of a new LA-306, you get a furnace that can be used for another 10-15 years with an all new control system, new furnace chamber internals and all new aircraft aluminum cooling section. We have a limited number of refurbished RTC LA-306 furnaces; this LAST ONE in stock and a few more in the warehouse available for reconditioning in our factory. Or we can recondition your LA-306 furnace with new digital controllers, electronics and lamps including replacement of any missing, damaged or necessary worn parts. These units are fully tested to original RTC factory specifications and are warranteed for one year from shipment. These furnaces are offered in conjunction with RGL Enterprises.
