Hello, I love rocks, minerals and fossils and making them all shiny. I have several Lot O Tumblers and many many rotary tumblers. Just got a Covington vibratory flat lap.
Looking to learn and refine the many processes. Also looking for help with one of the Lot o’s that needs a new motor.
Live in Michigan and love the many rocks and fossils we have throughout the state and close by.

Welcome from California. You must be very patient to tumble that much. Not a tumbler!

Welcome from Missouri. Formerly from Petoskey, Michigan. It may not be for everyone but here is a link to what I did when my Lot-O motor failed. It has been working for a year and a half now without any motor problems. It may be in the thread but if not one issue is that you want to add some cushion over the bolts (between bolts and barrel) and probably around the frame to avoid wear on the barrel. I also added some heat protection between the motor and the frame. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/101261/lot-tumbler-motor-modifications

Welcome! Jealous of anyone who can just find a Petoskey stone laying around. And that other one too… what was it called…
… Charlevoix!
