Greetings,
Recently took over where my grandparents left off with me (30 years ago) with Rockhounding. Too bad I've got to acquire equipment, etc. I was blessed in that I received a lot of slabs my granddad had cut. Anyways, looking forward to using this forum and hoping to be active as much as possible, but between work, cutting, and hopefully cabbing soon, I don't know how much time I'll spend on here...but some I'm sure.
I just got done refurbishing a Lortone LS18 that I picked up. The motor fell apart (literally) on the way home so I replaced it. It's a 1960s model (yellow). I stripped the paint off the exterior and sanded out what little light rust there was and repainted it all (except the pulley/belt cover). I left the pulley/belt cover yellow to show it's age.
Anyways, glad to find an active Rock Hound forum. Living in Middle Georgia so not much in the way of agate around here it seems, but hoping to find some.
Happy Hounding!
p.s. Now if I could only get my LS18 to stop stopping halfway through a cut (i think it's the blade bowled some...heh).

Thanks for all the replies! Not that I'm looking to change forums, just more resources... is this the most active place on the web for forums? (besides FB).
