Has anyone heard of a sparkle tumbler by lortone? I bought a tumbler on e-bay it is a lortone with two 3lbs BBls, but the name is sparkle tumbler. The reason I ask, I bought the rubber gasket for the lid and it doesnt fit it is just a little to small. The gasket that was on the lid was just a rubber disc, the ones I got from "Rocks for you" fit over the metal lid, needless to say being the impatient man I am i ground down the metal lids to fit into the gaskets Problem solved, but I was wondering if anyone heard of the sparkle tumbler ,incase I need other parts

GACkkkkkkkk!!!!!! Soon after I wrote this post, the motor on the tumbler burned out.....I called rocks4u and found out my lortone sparkle tumbler is probably over 25 years old.They have changed the design since then. I bought a motor for a newer model and with minamal ajustsments it fit. So now after I patch the old mount holes and with the tweaking of the lids,.....taaa daaaa I have a new lortone tumbler ;D(My wife thinks...and she is right.. :-[it would have been cheaper to buy a new one) but I will never admit it, lol
