This is an improved version of the traditional "electric ladle." The heating element is now mounted externally to greatly extend element life. The HOT POT-2 both melts and pours lead. An ideal beginners unit since there is nothing else to buy. Features: 3 x 1 3/4, 4 lb. lead capacity cast iron pot, heat resistant plastic handle, metal stand, and three foot cord. 120 Volts AC, 500 Watts, by Palmer Mfg., Inc.
