Recommend a new tumbler!!
Well my Frankford Arsenal tumbler that I have had since about 2008 is I think finally getting tired. I was tumbling brass today and realized that it was making noise but really not doing anything. I tried it empty, with media and also with media and a small load of brass........same thing.
I am open to tumbler suggestions but not in the hundred dollar range please.  This FA tumbler has lasted about 6 years seeing a lot of use so I may just go back with another one but I am open to suggestions!!

I use the orange one...Lyman 1200, I think. Has the slots in the lid, which kinda sucks, but it works ok. About 50 bucks

I bought a vibrating one from Harbor Freight on a suggestion from someone here. Don't think it was more than a hundred.

I've been using my RCBS tumbler regularly for about four years and have had no trouble with it.
It's $77 at Midway, and there's a $10 rebate right now.

I've got an RCBS tumbler. Had an issue with the motor about a year or so into usage. I called them up, explained the situation and they sent me a replacement motor free of charge.
Great customer service. Go big green. http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4504 Last edited by skosh69; 08-31-2014 at 11:45 PM.
