Mine does have the bead collar also, which is necessary for annealing beads right from the torch to the kiln, unless you have pretty short mandrels and could drop them into the top and still close it. When I make marbles, I remove the bead collar and drop the marbles in the top so they don't roll out of the bead door. I'm happy with it. And I love the controller.
