Well guys and gals, here goes a new hobby addiction. I've got another A-R2 Tumbler also, just waiting on new barrels to arrive. My plan was to get a Lot-O for a vibe but with everyone talking about the new motors failing, I'll pass. I think I'll go with a Mini-Sonic for the vibe. My Studio/Workshop is only 9'x14' full of my jewelry and metalsmithing equipment, workbenches and cabinets. So small and Quiet is the route the rock tumbling needs to be. The fan and my music covers up the small tumbler noise pretty good.

YES! I have 2 of the same tumbler. My single barrel model just lost its motor after 17 years of use. I also have 2 larger models. Yeah this hobby kinda can get out of hand.
