I got a Lyman 61 pot a while back. Second time using it, it stopped heating.
Took the face off and it appears it was 'fixed' before - with a single wire being about 1/4 the size of the original. Of course, it burned out...
Where can I get some wire that is heat insulated and the correct type of crimp on ends to work in this environment? I tried at a local Ace hardware, and their crimp ends were only rated to 70d. C (iirc) and no wire insulated for protection against heat. Looks like 6" of wire and 2 ends would do it; 12" and 4 ends would be enough to replace both wires.
Thanks,
