Solid Gold ProMelt

[Snakeoil]

Some yahoo on fleabay has the original ProMelt furnace for sale for $450.00!! Both legs and the mold rest are all rust.

Must be worth more 'cus it's "vintage".

Rest assured someone will buy it . . .

Someone selling "vintage" on eBay.

Caveat emptor.

 

[BudHyett]

Before reading this, I was getting ready to sell two of mine for $200.00 including shipping. I guess I'll wait to see if this one sells for the advertised price.

PT Barnum.

Makes me wonder what I could get for my old Lee...

I don't think PT Barnum actually said that, but he might as well have.

Reminds me of the joke "Say Goodnight, Gracie." "Goodnight Gracie!" from Burns & Allen, supposedly on their final episode. It never happened. Years later someone asked George Burns in an interview if she ever said that on the show and he said no, but only because no one thought of it at the time. He thought it was brilliant.

That was back before we starting importing them by the plane load. Now we get perhaps two a second.

And they all have credit cards with high limits.

BEST tools.....

 

[Mainiac]

Wonder when they came out?
I bet mine is about that old as well.i leave it out in the shed,,must be why all the paint fell off.dont care,,,its been ol reliable,all these years.

 

[CZ93X62]

I got mine NIB in 2002, the box and the furnace both had an unrecalled month and year '1988' stamped on them. Bullet-proof, utterly reliable.

Anyone who visited Arthur Green's office in beverly hills to buy metal will recall seeing at least 5 Pro-Melts set up for his alloy blending.

Arthur Green

Scott and I bought scrap lead from Art Green when I lived in Riverside, CA. He was open on Saturday morning for us and others. He had the best price and the best flux. If we bought 500 pounds, we got free flux.

Hang onto that old SAECO.

Like a lot of old American electrical equipment, its real strength is the ease of repair. That old electrical stuff wasn’t all molded/potted/integrated, etc. You could repair it easily if needed. Plus, it was simple (there’s a concept that needs to come back)

If my memory is correct, the old SAECO pots were based on a light industrial design and adapted for bullet casting.

The old SAECO pots can be fixed? I've still got mine. It was always a good pot until the end of the heating element separated from the power supply. I haven't been able to bring myself to get rid of it.
