I am looking for a good used vibrating flat lap. Something I can put a cut thunder egg in. But big enough that I can polish a cut rock.

I've got an old Becon Star 10 inch that I never use because I have two 15 inch Raytech Hustlers. A 10 inch pan should work okay for a thunder egg or two. I'll sell it for $50 plus shipping because, like I said, it's older and I never use it.
I remember that the pan is smooth (no grooves). I know it runs, but it takes longer than my Hustlers that have grooved pans. I'll dig it out tomorrow and post a couple pictures before you decide if you are interested.
Edited to add: I just got it out of the garage and plugged it in on the back porch to let it run all night. Will still be tomorrow before I add pictures.

Okay... not sure where I got the Beacon Star name last night, it was late. Anyway, it's a 10 inch Star Diamond unit. As I said, it's kinda old - I have no idea how old - and it's not very pretty. It ran all night and here are some photos. It has an inline on/off switch and bumper ring. I would replace the polishing pad (carpet). I never used it, so I don't know if there is anything other than polish on it. The guy I bought it from (eBay) had used grease where the bottom of the pan meets the supports. This is fun if you have forgotten about the grease when you remove the pan There are three springs which hold the pan/motor on the base. I included this pic so you understand where they go. The springs are all complete now, but if one ever breaks you would have to MacGyver a new one. Guess that's it, let me know if you are interested. If so, it may take me a day or 2 to get it boxed up and shipped - lots going on in my world.
