Anyone else have a Wenesco brand lead pot?

I bought this electric lead pot back in 2002 or so from a local ad for a 220vac 60 lb lead pot along with a bunch of fishing weight molds. The guy used to make assorted fishing weights. The lead pot is on a cart with an aluminum table with the pot set into one side of it along with a contactor and a temperature control unit. I ended up selling some of the cannonball sinker molds on Ebay for about what I paid for the whole setup....gotta love those deals!! I still have a bunch of sinker molds left and of course the lead pot cart. I will add a pic later. Probably not as efficient as propane, but neat non the less.

Actually, electric heating is 100% efficient.
Every watt in is BTU's out.
Gas, while often preferred, is not as efficient.

That thing sounds like a venders cart for the pier or swap meet.
"Soup! Chili Frys! Cannon balls! Nacho's!"
(Except for the "tail")

"How often do you add lead to that thing?"
"Oh... about every 10 years or so."

I've got a WAAGE pot...made in NJ I think??

20 or 25 pounder...after 30 yrs of propane...the jet engine noise started to get to me.

Wish I had gone electric years ago.

Looking at their online catalog I see what looks like the entire LEE lineup. I wonder if they make them for Lee?? They sure charge a LOT more to buy direct versus getting a Lee though!! I didn't take the noise factor into consideration and guess electric may have its ups afterall.
