Questions

I'm not familiar with a Model 3. I think their 3A is a single 3 lb. A good place to start is with a double 3lb. tumbler. (I think Lortone is a Model 33). If you have a lot of rocks the Lortone QT66 is also good. It has two 6 lb. drums and you can run a single 12 lb. as well. Thumler's makes good tumblers also. You can easily find lots of posts about these and the infamous "Chicago Electric" tumbler. A nice addition would be a spare drum dedicated to polish only.

Hi Mike, firstly welcome to RTH, i take it you mean "#004- 093 ; Lortone Model 3-1.5;
3 X 1.5lb (4.5lb) rubber barrels = $123.50"!

I personally i feel it is expensive as you can do more & larger stones with the
"#004- 091 ; Lortone Model 33B; 2 X 3lb (6lb) rubber barrels = $119.00" for less
& i agree with Johnsjsgems.

For further information & your local vendors please contact Lortone.
