New folks to the craft in out of stock world

[mapper]

Well, dad had a star lubrisizer, after sized and lubed they drop out the bottom. He just put cigar boxes under them and dropped into them.
There was 2 lead pots, a larger one in better shape, and a smaller one that was bottom pour that needs to be rewired and both needs looked at and cleaned up. Worse case, I can get a 20 lb pot if these don't work, or I can resussicate them. These are mid '60s models, so I don't think they owe any previous or prospective user much money.

There is a basket with his alloy ignots,
So I have enough to use to get started.

I'll clean the stuff up and go through it, and clean up the molds.
I have some bullet lube and a heater I can use, I think he used a mix of railroad side rod grease and maybe some beeswax,
I'll pick up a lyman cast book, and start with what I have..
