I saw a monster tumbler on craigslist, which was way too much of a tumbler for me. But spotted a sweet grinder so I went down to take a look. It turned out to be a frantom! I've always wanted a large make-em-like-they-used-to kind of grinder, and my eyes lit up when I saw it! I paid $150 for it. It's in good shape and came with a nice set of convex SiC wheels. There was no way I could justify a 100+ pound tumbler (two sets of shafts and about 12 barrels), but I did end up with it's little brother (4 barrels). I need to find a motor and am planning significant rebuild, but will end up with a nice little machine! I got a look from Mrs. Rocklicker when I loaded it into the car. Well, I told her I would sell my project Genie so that made it OK. I took her out to dinner too! Steve Check out the new goodies! The tumbler needs some work but it's all there.

" I told her I'd sell the project genie so that made it ok." <--- That made me laugh! I think you get the quote of the day award!
Nice score BTW!
