Ok, so I was looking through the April/May Handloader, noticed on page 98 an add for a "Electric Ladle Furnace Kit." The kit includes a 25lb pot, a Rowell #1 ladle, a thermometer, and a pound of flux. Going price....$400+shipping! When are people going to stop trying to make a quick buck, this is exactly the same reason primer became non-existant, and outragously priced. It makes me sick...

I have been seeing that same kit advertised in those magazines for at least the last 6 months, maybe longer.

That particular furnace and the kit revolve somehow back to "The Antimony Man" website -- even though a disclaimer is on this website if you go to antimony mans site (link at bottom of that page) that same furnace is listed.

You know, I've got a Lee 20lb bottom pour drip-o-matic and know what I bought and how to handle it. I'd *like* a $350 RCBS non drip o matic but don't know why you'd pay $400 for a kit when with a little research...................

aww hell never mind, I'm preaching to the chior here I guess. Just can't believe there's that many dumb people in the world............

I think P. T. Barnum had that figured out. There is a sucker born every minute!

It does not bother me that capitalizers can take money from those that have it and are too lazy to shop around and do research.

Gee! ........I've had a 20lb Lee bottom pour for over two years now, .....And it has never done the "Drip-O-Matic thing"!

........Maybe I'm not operating it correctly???:confused:

How much should it cost? It's a Waage pot, Rowell ladle & LETS flux. All high quality stuff.

There was a price increase on the Waage K4757 in January !

They are now about $150.00 from Waage direct !

I own three and find them outstanding !

A Rowell #1 is $24.00 and a very nice thermometer is under $37.00 !

That special flux must be about $200/pound !

Call waage direct. Ask for Marsha, tell her you saw their product on Cast Boolits. Mine was 150 + 19 Shipping. Best pot I have ever used!

As DGV pointed out talk to Marsha if you call Waage. The Model #K4757 is not a standard catalog item. They are a commercial outfit but make this model specifically for bullet casters ! :)

VERY nice people to deal with. Great quality product !
