Good luck with the PID in those units. The earlier models had issues and failures.
Please post again in a couple months on how it is going for you.

Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
The rules are simple to follow.
Jack that's a mighty neat looking rig, and welcome to a very addictive "HOBBY", yup! keep us posted, we care.
coffee's ready, Hootmix.
Post your first run pictures. Let's see what the new rig can do.
I've got one of those and I like it, no issues with the PID.
I had one on order (backorder) from Buffalo Arms, and while waiting I read soooo many reports, added to the (PID) failure of his to a local fellow caster/shooter -- I rang Buffalo Arms and (a great outfit to deal with, if you didn't alrrady kniow this ) and canceled my order, swapping it for a RCBS Pro-Melt. I've used the RCBS for many, many hours with nary a problem -- good unit.
The local fellow sent his Lyman 25 back and eventually got it returned to him. He stated that Lyman apparently recognized the problem and did "something" to lessen/alleviate it. But, he is still wary using it and even keeps a small el cheapo electric fan blowing on it when in use.
They are pleasing to the eye units; I do hope (assume?) yours is a newer, problem-free design, and wish you many problem-free hours of use with it!

Very nice! Mine works like a champ without the PID! Must be some stockholders of PID manufacturers here LOL!
Nice looking unit. I came close to getting one as my old Lyman furance has served me well, but I got a deal on a Master Caster. Th MC was a lot more money, but I cannot cast for long sessions anymore with multicavity molds.
I would not be too worried about some of issues reported when the units first came out. Lyman has been a good company and will stand behind their product.
