Thanks for the updates. Please share photos of your mini museum once everything is on display. Great info you posted on the parts list and that the AR2 parts work with vintage Thumlers.

The AR2 looks pretty much the same as does the "display box" When I was a dealer I only bought the Model T with display box and starter kit at Christmas time. The AR2 and larger I only bought the generic basic boxes as the pretty display boxes didn't stay pretty long hauling to shows. My first tumbler was a Model A that I chased from Quartzsite. The dealer had it at the Pow Wow but price a little high. Saw him again at Stoddard Wells and had to have it. It had homemade lids which leaked and when I called Thumler's to order new barrels they wouldn't sell them to me. Said I likely only needed lids and retaining rings. They were right. They have always had that antiquey look.

Hey guess what? The Lortone I got the next day on Flee Bay has a Cash Register Receipt that came with it. It was purchased on December 21st 1970 From Gilmore Brothers Dept Store In Kalamazoo about 60 Miles N/E of me. So it most likely Was Built in the Late 1960's. It does have un-filled out warrantee papers with the serial # on the paperwork which I can write to Lortone and get dated. I will show more pictures once The Display is finished.
