The bottom line
Vulcan VC4ED: Used Vulcan VC4ED: $1,699–$8,900 observed used across 29 listings. The documented cost risk to price in: Temperature control/probe, Door seal. Buy only after inspection.
Garland MCO-GS-10: Common single-deck gas convection oven with active OEM parts support (temperature control ~$567, hi-temp door micro switch ~$82); Garland's own IOM confirms the door must be closed for the oven to heat -- opening it stops the heat and shuts off the motor and fan as a safety feature -- so during inspection verify the oven heats only with the door shut, that the door switch resumes heat immediately on closing, and that the thermostat holds the dialed temperature.
