I have a Lee pro four 20lb bottom pour melter. Only had it for a little over a year. While casting some jigs about a week ago I heard a loud pop about like a 22 crack and the melter died. Scared the crap out of me. The melter is still under waranty. Called Lee They evidently have had this problem with this melter. They said they I could replace the parts myself or send them the melter for a replacement. My problem is the thing is about half full of cold lead. Yea kicking myself in the butt for not emptying the thing before it got cold. They mentioned using a blow torch to melt the lead out. Best I have is a propane torch. Haven't tried it yet. Thay have sent me the coils and thermostat. Any suggestions Much appreciated.
