Just as an FYI, three sets of Hensley & Gibbs autocast blocks appeared on e&ay tonight.
These two cavity blocks will not fit two cavity hand cast handles. These blocks were made for specific automatic casting machines. They are easily identified by the following:
1. They are always two cavity
2. They have a vertical slot in the block for attachment vs. a horizontal slot on the hand cast blocks.
3. They rarely if ever are offered with sprue plates. For the machines these were made for, I assume the sprue plate is attached to the machine an operates differently than hand cast sprue plates.
Info is FYI...
If you have an autocast machine that uses these, now is your chance to get them.
