My luck lately is almost making me feel guilty for such good furtune
Local FB buy and sell forum was good to me today. A local fellow just bought a house from an elderly gentleman who took his tools from the garage and said to the new owner " everything else in the garage you can have" The ad in the buy and sell showed the melting pot and one chunk of lead. I called the guy and he said "come on over, you won't be disappointed". I went to his house and he kept pulling out chunks of lead. I ended up with a Michigan Knife Company Babbit melting pot that will hold 50 lbs of molten lead. I ended up with 280 lbs of pure lead and 24 1.25lb bars of 35/65 solder bars for a grand total of 310+ lbs of lead and solder. $80 total. He was glad to get rid of it all, smiled and waved as the rear end of my car sagged and I drove off down the road.
