I have tumbled rocks on and off since the 1970's. I have a MS degree in Geology from Michigan State University. My current rig is a Thumler's tumbler AR-2. Had not used it in a number of years and fired it up a few days ago. I broke the drive belt which had become stiff and dry over the years. New belt coming soon. I have been semi-successful in tumbling rocks which is probably why I hadn't progressed much with the hobby.

Amazon. After joining this forum there was a thread I found that linked to a place who sells equivalent belts for 54 cents a piece.
