Hi, for what do You need needle valve? And how much does that costs? I use common glass high vacuum valves..
I am going to build an oven according to: http://www.teralab.co.uk/Glass_Blowing/Annealing_Oven/Annealing_Oven_Page1.htm Now I use a box with vermiculite ($10), it works surprisingly well, if You are patient enough to wait until it really cools down, nice result may be obtained. But the real annealing is still better.
