Maybe you need to call the "Ghost in a Bottle" people. andy321.proboards16.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1097531391With that out of the way. I have my three tumblers on a bench in the garage. I stole a piece of rubber mat that my wife puts in the kitchen drawers that keep things from sliding when the drawer is closed. Do not know what it's official name is. Usually sold as some kind of kitchen mat. Comes in a roll. Is made of some kind of rubber that sticks a little.

That sounds like a good idea Tell. Last night I took a 2X4 and clamped it to the front of the work bench. If they hop over that, I'm calling the cops.
I've seen just the oposite as far as size. My 15# never moves at all. It was the little AR-1 that walked off the table. But then, it never moved until the other night when all of the sudden it decided to move about 6 inches in 3 hrs and take a dive off the work bench.

Bob, The 2 X 4 sounds like a good fix! Are your cubes tumbling again?

i started out with my original tumbler on the concrete floor and it didn't move an inch.....i have 5 units now on a desk top downstairs, all mounted on leveled bits of plywood. i did leave one without a plinth and it was dancing a little so it got resigned to the floor. i think some tumblers are more stable (consistently built) than others...
i've noticed my preformed flats have a hard time tumbling as a load, so i add rounded do-overs to the mix to help the desired action....
i am gonna have nightmares now about zombie tumblers.....sheesh!
