Have you ever bought a piece of equipment and wondered WHAT WAS I THINKING. If you bought a Lortone 3-1.5# and regretted it and it's taking up space, I am the person for you. I am ISO Lortone 3-1.5# machine(s). PM me if you have one for sale.
Thank you

Hard to find anymore with Lortone being back ordered for all their rotary tumblers. People are scarfing up all the used ones too and hanging on to them.
I used to buy many off of Ebay, but not much there anymore and the prices are through the roof..

I just thought if someone got one and then thought to themselves "why did I get such a little one" or they bought one for the kids or grandkids and it's just collecting dust they may want to part with it. I have 2 3-1.5# but my husband wants me to give up one for our daughter. I got mine out in New Mexico but the shop doesn't have anymore |

If you have the drums the 3x1.5# is the same frame that they use for the 33B which takes two 3A drums.

I believe that Minnesota Lapidary supply still has a few Lortone tumblers and tumbler parts in stock.
Also would mention that I've ordered other items from them a few times and they have always been super friendly and were very prompt in shipping.

Thank you MLS didn't have any but he had the barrels so he used a 33B base and created one for me. It arrived today. Thank you for the information. Now to make room in the trailer for the new tumblers. |
