Are the alb barrel pretty much the same size? The rubber gasket that covers the barrel lid on one of my barrels wore through. Just wondering if I need to get a vendor specific part or if any 3 lb barrel part will work.
Thanks
Mike

What size barrel? My (limited) experience is that the dimensions vary more significantly as barrel size increases.

I have 2 Lortone 33b's & a 3# Chicago Electric. I know a Lortone lid liner works on the CE if you stretch it a bit. These two manufacturers barrels are slightly different although both 3 pounders. I suspect it is best to use replacement parts from the specific brand.

Chicago is a Lortone copy so pretty close. Thumlers is completely different design.

I have a Chicago double barrel 3lb currently running with a single barrel 3lb sitting idle due to a leaking gasket

Look for a Chicago brand replacement gasket. They have an online catalog don't they? You should be able to order and have it mailed right to you.
