Anybody use one of these? I am a refuse worker by trade and found one in the trash today.It is the B model with the 1550rpm motor. Plugged it in and it works like a charm. I do need a new drive shaft for it though, the one with the plastic gear and its $11. Figured its worth that. Good Find?

I have their 18 lb vibratory tumbler and like it alot. The one you have is a rotory tumbler right? I can't imagine that a vibratory tumbler having gears.
I have called their factory before when I was shopping for a good tumbler, they sound like good people and all their stuff is made right here on American soil. Parts shouldn't be an issue....
To sum it up.....yep it is a good find...

I have a Model B I use for tumbling brass and coating bullets. Works great, very sassified with it.

Man I really like this tumbler. Its so quiet compared to my vibrating tumbler. Put a new belt on it today and tumbled up some 204 brass and worked great.
