Hi folks, haven`t had to buy a tumbler in years and was wondering if anyone had topped the Lortone 33B for price and performance?

If you haven't bought one in years, you will likely be a bit disappointed with the 3B. The old ones seemed to hold up forever, not so with the new ones. Get some extra belts with it; if you don't change them when the tumbler starts slowing down you will end up having to buy a new motor. Don't get me wrong--I have one, and when the last one died, I bought another 3B. They just aren't as good as they used to be.
My first tumbler, a Thumler, lasted over 25 years. I don't know if the newer ones have retained their quality, but my first 3B (bought many years later) lasted 2 1/2 years.
