Cool.  Nobody else I've talked to has ever heard of one.

I have two sets of dies for mine, one of which is for very small pies
or tarts.  The electrical heater parts are corroded beyond use.  I
gather the thing is worth ca. $700 with dies and in job-ready
condition.

Yow!  At 200 shells per hour, it would still take 10 hours to press
2000 pies.  Oy.


Thanks for the followup,
