i have an ancient ballisticast machine with a estimated 60 pound pot on top of it. i have drained the pot down and cleaned it the best i could to try and stop a leak in the valves to no avail. i have came to the conclusion that i need to just get new nipples and plungers for it and be done, but i can not seem to find a manufacture of the pot on my machine. i dont see a serial number anywhere nor a name brand on it. the plungers that are in the pot are round and have a hole in the very bottom of them that sit down over a raised nipple in the bottom of the pot. the nipples at the bottom of the pot are more than likely going to be destroyed if i try and remove them and i dont want to tear em up without finding replacement parts before getting started. i have looked all over and i can find heating elements as well as thermostats and other things but i cant seem to find these plungers and nipples. anyone have an idea of where i could look to find them?
