Hi all, I bought a Lortone QT-12 about 15 years ago and started using it in November . I have been lurking and learning here since I fired it up early Nov. and have since picked up a few used tumblers also. This site and the companion facebook group have been invaluable. Thanks! Tom

Welcome Tom, from Florida.
My advice would be, have some rubber lid liners on hand for the Lortones (and others) when they wear through. Especially if 15 yrs old. Rubber will dry out and wear quickly. Inexpensive, but a pain if not on hand when needed. An extra belt for your model comes in handy also. Enjoy! Jeff A
