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.:D

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 use an electric cement mixer, Lowes...$180.00......too much $$$ though

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 too have the lyman 1200...work swell but wish it was a touch bigger but has been running strong for 3 years now...... would buy it again...

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.
