In Australia the AMP annealer will set you back over $2,000aud.
Watching you tube I built my own formless than a quarter of the price. Even cheaper if you live in the US around 200 dollars.
All you need is a 12 volt electric timer
Hot Rock induction heater
A bottle of template 700 degree paint.
Basic intelligence
The guy on you tube explains it beautifully.
Once set up you can set the timer to hundredths of a second if needed.
For 22 hornet anneal for 1 second
222and 223 cases 1.6 seconds
My 25 3 seconds
The whelen 3.2 seconds.
You have to sacrifice a case to get get your settings but only one if you keep a record of times.
Paint the neck and shoulder of a case with 700 degree templac. Start at 1 second and work up in half second increments until the template melts. This gives you the anneal time for each brand of case.
Once you have that go ahead and have fun.
My 25 for example takes 3 seconds to perfectly anneal the neck and shoulder.
The timer is set for 3 seconds on 4 seconds off. This off time gives me the chance to move to the next case.
The video on YouTube explains it better but it is cheap simple effective and very accurate.

Remington case perfectly annealed neck and shoulder. 2.5 seconds anneal time.
Once set up you should be able to anneal 40 to 50 cases in 5 minutes.
Set up is a breeze. Plug in turn on and set time according to your note and go for it..
Yes I'm a cheap skate but it's simple cheap and every bit as good as the more expensive gas and AMP .
I strongly recommend watching the video.
