5 bowl, 2 lids and the vibe base. Man said he used it right up to packing it up to get his shop ready to sell everything because of retirement. Would anyone of you, if seen for sale, buy this for 75$. I cant see the brand name to look it up. Thanks Kelly

If just one bowl then I would spend a little more and buy a new one. With that many extra bowls though, that is a pretty good deal.

It's a Gemstone Vibratory Tumbler... Is that a god brand Jason. I did buy it for 60$ because I bought 191# of rock from him. Mostly Bakers Thundereggs. He plugged it in for me and it almost walked itself off the table. Now to get her cleaned up and try her out. Any advice on how to use it?

Honestly no clue...I could just make out the word Gem on the side...and searched from there and found it. It looks very similar to the TV-5 model...which I have...but I use it for tumbling my wraps in steel shot...so no clue on how it would do with rocks. If you look around the tumbling forum for TV-5, I know there's a lot of people who use those...

The tv 5 (raytech) is a good machine. Kelly's machine should be fine too. Kelly come over and we will fire up my raytech just to show how I load and treat it. Tom

Make sure to run the machine once in a while if if you have nothing to put in it. I read somewhere a while back that if not run for a while the motors can freeze up. Not sure why, but it happened to a friend's Raytech TV-5. I got it running again, but was not easy. Had to find something long, thin and stiff to reach up through the grill to reach the fan blades and move them to get the motor shaft unstuck. Maybe moisture get in there or something and leads to some rusting.
