Just joined the site today. I haven't done any rock work since 1977 in the hobby shop at Futema, Okinawa. Looking for advise on equipment, tumbler in particular. Should I get a vibrator or rotary.? If rotary is recommended should it be a single or double drum ? Thanks for any help I can get. I look forward to reading this site often and picking everyones brain for help in getting back into this hobby.

Minnow, Where in PA? I'm from southeast York County. Was just back visiting a few weeks ago. Love that area. Good to have you on RTH. Look forward to seeing what you have, what you get and what you do.

Hi all, Good to be hearing from some of you. I live in Erie, Pa. and my name comes from the fact that I really enjoy fishing and minnows are my usual bait of choice. I am about a 10 minute drive from Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie. Thanks for the advice on where to post my question on tumblers. I'll learn in time. Everyone will be hearing from me and I will post pictures as I progress with my reentery back into this hobby.
