Have been thinking of replacing my old Lee pot with the Waage K5747? if that is still a good number for a 25 lbs pot. Can anyone inform me about them and where I can buy one?

I did not see any 25 pound pots in this or other models, nor a model number similar to your quest. But dang everything sure is pricey......$542 for a 20 pounder!!!!

They do not list the Waage K5747. It is a special order. They are outstanding. Call for current price and availability. A couple of years ago they were just over $200.

I just checked Buffalo Arms web page and they only list one that is 230 volt but does not say Waage on it. I found the box mine came in and it has the receipt and some other paperwork.
The 115V furnace is here, it is $326:

I paid $223 for it with shipping. Invoice is dated3/18/2014, so what is it worth today?
Looks like I have some thinking to do; had no idea pots had gotten so expensive. My 30 year old Lee is looking prettier and prettier!
Thanks to all of you for the info and to you Sultan for the pot offer, surely it's worth what you paid based on use of course. Trying times for us retired guys with prices through the roof.

I bought a Waage quite a while ago and used it to ladle cast for BPCR and it worked very well and kept its temperature very accurately. I don't shoot BPCR anymore so it is my smelting pot that I take molten metal out of as I cast with my RCBS with a scoop so I don't change the temperature of my RCBS and mess up my cadence. I don't remember what I paid but it was expensive at that time compared to other pots but it is of excellent quality.
