I purchased a used flat vibrating polisher last weekend at our rock swap. It is older but it works. I cannot read the label, but I 'think' it is a lorotone. Anyway the 3 rubber balls that sit under the pan are missing. Any idea where to get some? :help: Will Golf balls work? Went to order the rubber balls from Kingsley North, they want $4.25 each... OK so when I went to check out they want sales tax, shipping +++$, insurance total $22.31 for 3 Rubber Balls!!! NO WAY. Anyone?

Mine came (used) with tennis balls. Contact Lortone directly. From WA to Arkansaw should be tax free.

The balls are 1 5/8 inches in diameter and are just solid rubber bouncing balls - just little bit of give. Get thee to a toy store. As long as all three match you may be able to fudge a bit on the size.

As long as all three match you may be able to fudge a bit on the size. If they are 1 5/8" and a golf ball is 1.68" in diameter, do you think they would work? Tennis balls are much larger. Headed to Toys R Us.... thanks.

Golf balls would be too hard.
