    Saeco Melter and H&G Mold Fans

    So I find myself in Covid Positive quarantine in my basement this Thanksgiving so I’m trying to use the time to clean up and organize a little. Came across some old documents from Grandpas reloading/casting that needed to be sorted and this little old H&G catalogue was mixed in. Thought the H&G fans might get a kick:




    Also had the Saeco Catalogue with instructions for their production melter.





    If anyone wants a PDF of these let me know via PM what your email address is and I will email it to you.

    Yeah, being a bit of a collector of vintage firearms and tools (wife interprets this as hoarder) I spent a fair amount of time restoring most of his old reloading and casting equipment including complete rebuilds on two Star loaders, magma repair of a star sizer, cleanup and use of the Saeco pot, and a rebuild of a Ponsness Warren 800b. I still used the PW and Star sizer but Star presses and Saeco pot are safely stored in custom crates for the next generation.

    The old adage is true, they just don’t make them like they used to so we better save what we can.

    These old manuals in digital format will give them some good history hopefully.
