I have 2 out-of-warranty double barreled Chicago Electric (Harbor Freight)Rotary Tumblers that I need to replace the drum boot gaskets on. Does anyone know where to order gaskets that will fit them? I hate to throw out machines that are working just fine other than needing new gaskets. I have a friend that needs replace the barrel nut on her CE tumbler. Any help there would be appreciated as well.

If I am not mistaken, I believe the barrels on a CE tumbler are an exact clone of the Lortone 3 pound barrels. You can find gaskets and nuts that will fit easily on EBay. Any Lortone knurled nut will do. The gasket from a Lortone 3 pound barrel (like you find on a Lortone 3A-NR) should fit the barrels of your CE tumblers. Wish you the best.

The barrels on a CE tumbler is not a exact clone, they are similar. These parts for a Lortone 33B will work on a CE barrel, # 210-02 belt, #240-10 boot gasket,# 020-01 inner lid. The CE inner lid has metric threads, the Lortone has standard threads, 1/4 x 20. Any good hardware store will have a metric nut that will fit the CE inner lid. I am running three CE doubles with all Lortone parts, including 33B motor and bushings.
I buy all my parts from The Rock Shed.
I hope this will help. James

The Rech Shed is great. Kingsley North is good too.
