I've been looking for a good deal on a Lortone 3a. I can't believe how much they go for!! So, I saw one pop up on eBay for 68 with FREE shipping. By far the best deal. I asked a bunch of questions and found out it's missing the inner gasket- both parts (super cheap). So I offered him 60. With free shipping, I didn't want to low ball too bad. It's such a good deal. Then I popped over to Rock Shed and Kingsley North for rocks, parts and grit. I'm a happy camper. My daughter will be thrilled.

I am scared to tell him I may have inadvertently picked up a second Fairburn while we were out hunting with him. I don't know for sure, I didn't even know I found the first one. Fairburn agates are so much different than Lake Superior Agates. I will post a photo of it next to the confirmed one and see jasoninsd

A lot of the prices there were pretty high. You have to be patient. I just got lucky. Plus, shipping kills me since I am on the East Coast and most lapidary stuff is out West. Free shipping was awesome.

Free shipping was awesome. Yeah, he told me he's been all over the internet, including ebay, looking for one for me. No go ....I certainly don't want him paying more than what they are worth. Rock Shed also has TumbleBee (I think that's the kind) that he was looking at too. I think those are ok and have seen other members here talk about them.

If she's half as good as you are with cabbing she'll be a top tier tumbler in no time.

Awww... thank you for saying that. I'm really excited for her AND both of us because I know it will be a good bonding thing.

I got the tumbler in good time and it was well packaged. It looks new! I think it was used once or twice. Turns out it DID have the inner gasket, both parts. It was bolted onto the outer lid upside down. LOL! I did buy new ones, but my old one could use a new inner lid, so nothing lost.
