I folks,
I bought this Master Caster Bullet Machine, fired it up for the first time yesterday, ran about 200 bullets, and then I put my cut off back in the pot, while waiting for the cut off to get melted in, I thought I would size and lube those that I had cast, looked over at my pot to see how it was doing and it had quit heating!:confused:
So I took the Temp. cover off, (I call it a thermostat) and the points were all rusted, I cleaned them good, but I did a bad thing!! I broke the thermocouple off, after a hour or so, I got it solder back on, it heats up great, but I don't want to burn it up!I tryed to turn it up and down to see if the stat was working but couldn't tell.
First question, does anyone know how that theromcouple is attached to the pot?
Second question, I live in po dunk no where, where could I go to get a thermoater to read that high?
I need help bad! I don't want to have to send this thing half way across the US to get it fixed, as high as frieght is.
All Advice, Help, ect.
I will Be Great Full For
Thanks Greg
