Anyone see the auction on the lyman 61 furnace that just ended on evil bay?
Final winning bid was $228.00, really? Amazing what people will pay. I have and use 2 old lyman 61's as my main casting pots, have never had the first complaint or problem with either one. I know sooner or later the cord will bite the dust but so far so good. On second thought, would be nice if it was at least a 20 pounder. I usually set a couple ingots on the top plate to keep nice and hot to feed it when it gets low. I like to keep the pot almost full to keep the head pressure and temp in check.
So what say you that have the old 61's, would you sell yours for $228.00 ? I personally would not as they have been great tools for me. Also, really like the mould guides.
