Thanks for the response. I’m thinking the cell would be about 4L, but I ll likely experiment with a smaller one until I can get everything dialed in. Speaking about size, what amount of silver crystal can a 4L cell produce in 1 day?When you say small, it is relative . That will work perfectly for most "small" refiners. I have no experience with that unit, so don't know how well it holds up. Don't forget to put an in line fuse. The price looks OK.
I would think several T ozs/day with a 4 L setup, would be very doable, if all parameters for good practice are followed. What shape cathode vessel are you going to use?Thanks for the response.

Thinking that supply would be perfect.I am in the process of acquiring the necessary materials and supplies to build my first cell for refining sterling.. I see lots of different options and I’m leaning toward something like this one on eBay.. can someone give some thoughts please?
I’m most likely going to try the “streetips” method with a stainless steel bowl, but I’m open to suggestions on that front. I saw one that kurtak posted pics of in another post that was interesting. Is it more common to use the basket of shot method or poured anode bar style basket? I liked kurtaks because of the kilo bar anodes seems like less work to tend to.

Sreetips uses what I would call, more of a salad bowl shape SS bowl. The Silver grows out from the sides ( path of electric current shortest route ). With frequent stirring, the crystals can be knocked down to the bottom, eliminating electrical shorts. The bottom then becomes the path of least resistance, starting crystal growth from the bottom up ( at least in theory ). So my question is, is a deeper cylindrical vessel, a better shape vessel, than a salad bowl shape? Maybe a turkey frier shaped vessel.I’m most likely going to try the “streetips” method with a stainless steel bowl, but I’m open to suggestions on that front.
