ok, I just got to cleaning out a shelf above my bench and I don't know the size or make or even if it works or not tumbler.
The barrels make my lortone barrels look like toys!
the barrels are complete except for the nuts that close them.
anyone want this you can have it just pay the shipping. I think the motor will need cleaning or even maybe need replacing
I do not plan on tumbling loads that large so I don't want to mess with it. A friend of mine gave it to me years ago and its just been sitting on the shelf.
I will try to get pictures of it this weekend

This is like Christmas in April! I just went out to the garage and told my rock pile that it was in big trouble. ;D Thank you so much, looking forward to fixing the unit up and getting it running. I'll post pics.

Dang. Just missed it! If captbob changes his mind, I'll take it! I've got a riverbed full of petrified wood, agates, obsidians and etc that are all river "pre-tumbled" and just itching for some polishing up!

I don't know what grits the barrels were used for but I'll bet some clean first grind with borax or tsp wil get them all pretty inside, right now they have dust of the ages in them

That's not dust!...It's the remains of an ancient civilization ;D
Good to see stuff getting put back into circulation.

I hate having stuff hanging about for that very distant "maybe I might" so its good that it will be put to use.
