[QUOTE="jreagle, post: 1991843, member: 40992"] Working in the basement rules out propane for me. Carbon Monoxide could be an issue, a path not worth navigating. Went with a Fluxeon Annie water cooled unit, bottle of water conditioner and 750* templeque. No additional accessories. The timer is .1 sec adjustable. Using around 4.2 sec for a 308 win Lapua case. The Annie sits on an old computer monitor stand on top of a glass round table dedicated to annealing, the water cooler sits on the table below and next to the Annie..... setup brass on top of an old bullet box or a book (depending on length of cartridge) under the coil and use nickels and pennies to fine neck tune height inside the coil for different cartridges that i shoot. Lift out completed cases with a pair of needle nose pliers. So far so good, have no regrets. The process is pretty quick, can complete +- 50 308 win cases in 15- 20 minutes. Might get the foot switch at some point but im finding its not really needed, it would be more of a convenience to me. Wanted an AMP, a nicely packaged table top unit, but the cost is terribly prohibitive to me for the job. Annie was more than 1/2 cost savings..... it still seems high for the job, but more acceptable than AMP. [/QUOTE]
