About a year ago, I found a decent deal on a 20 lb. Lee Ladle melting pot .
I ordered it and upon arrival , it sat ( in the box ) on a shelf in my reloading / casting area in my basement.
This morning I plugged up my old stand by 13 yr. old 20 lb. Lee Casting Lead Pot in preparation to cast a few bullets. I'd put a heating element in it about 5 yrs. ago, however this morning, it was dead as a hammer.
After an appropriate ceremony for the deceased $50 pot that has helped me cast MANY , MANY thousands of cast bullets during the past 13 years , I plugged up the new one that you see in the photo below. I have zero complaints about the service that I got from the 13 yr. old Lee Melter .
Always good to have a " back up spare " on the shelf for a day
like today. ( Notice that I put a couple of 2" long torx head screws through the base to guarantee that the melter cannot tip over )
