Old Lyman melter

[Bob Busetti]

I have an old bottom pour Lyman melter that needs a new thermostat.Anybody know who fixes these or where to get the parts to fix it.

It used to be easy at an electrical appliance parts store. The same thermostat was used in several clothes irons. Now, with our throwaway society those stores are few and far between. I suggest you get online and see what Google gives you.

First, tho', I would call Lyman. There is just a chance that they might have an answer for you.

Good luck in your quest.

Bob; I just checked my "extra unit"--- Call them, specify 110- VOLT. At the bottom of page 714 is the unit. This is a new catalog showing only 220 VOLT.
#B-200, works great for the ones I rebuilt. Let me know how you make out.
