      Hey Bob , what do you know about Lyman model 61 bottom pour lead pots   
   ? I scored one at a yard sale last Friday for IIRC 30 bucks - older unit   
   I think because it has the cast iron base  . The mica at the power plug   
   is destroyed but I managed a temporary fix for testing . It heats and   
   melts the lead , but it dribbles . Is there a recommended way to clean   
   up the valve area to stop that dribble ? This unit is going to make it   
   viable for me to cast with the aim to sell a few bullets/balls to   
   friends and neighbors . Not for profit but more to enable purchase of   
   more casting supplies for whatever comes down the road ahead .  .
