About a month ago I was at an auction that had quite a bit of casting and reloading equipment. I came home with a brown Bullet master casting machine. First thing I did was re-wire the plug to a 3 prong dryer type. Now when I bought this machine I was hoping that it was just going to take a little cleanup and presto I’d be casting bullets like mad. Not the case! I plugged it in and started testing it out. First the drive motor started to smoke. Not good!! So I took it off to be fixed. Then I checked the melting pot to see how well it worked. About 20 minutes in POW! The wires arched and burned off. About the time I got it rewired the motor was ready so that was put back in as well. The testing continued with the carousel making sure each mould lines up correctly. No go. Only 2 of the 8 mould blocks line up. So it was removed cleaned and worn parts replaced. Lastly one cherry switch was bad and need replacing. Now she runs like the proverbial swiss watch.
Does anyone have any history on these? I called Magma with some questions and they told me that it wasn’t made by them and to look up ballisti cast. One problem they are out of business. Does anyone have specs on the springs that hold the mold halves together? I have two sets but they are pretty well wore out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
