I have jumped back into the hobby after a 50 year span Im retired now so I have more time to devote to it. I bought a new tumbler and Im almost done with stage one my old tumbler sheared the teeth off the drive gear on the motor. Im wondering before I get rid of the old one if it should be sold off for parts its an old star diamond unit Im sure someone can use a parts unit nowdays people are to quick to throw things away that can be salvaged for parts.

I would probably hold onto it for my own refurbish project...but if it's like my other refurbish projects, it might just sit there indefinitely. LOL Welcome to the forum from South Dakota!

Welcome! And I thought my 10 year break from the hobby was a long one! Unfortunately work is still interfering with my hobby time.😕 I’m in the same camp of keeping the old tumbler for now. It seems as time goes by I’m always wanting more equipment or an extra to do something specific, etc.
