I am selling off up to 150# of unprocessed Linotype in the raw slugs as I am receiving. Money goes to the lead pot I am building. Analysis by BNE on CastBoolits showed the slug sample as:
Sample #1 Lead dirty
Pb = 84.3%
Sb = 12.1%
Sn = 3.6%
All slugs have the same raw material, more or less Tin may have burned off during processing. I have a post that shows the details of melting down and fluxing about 18# of loose pieces that came off as I broke the slugs up. these were pretty dirty. about 25% to 30% was removed as fines. the slugs I am selling are cleaner and weight between 25# and close to 50#. Minimum sell would be about 50#. Price per pound is $0.75 which would work out to around a dollar a pound of recovered Linotype. $38 per 50#. Most Linotype is selling for over $3 so you would be saving a couple of bucks per pound with your sweat equity. Must pick up in North Bixby area. Once my smelter pot is functioning, I will no longer be selling raw slugs.
