I have a Thumler's Tumbler Ultra-Vibe 10 I am selling. It is ~18months old, and it is in great shape. The barrell was recently replaced on it and I think I have only run three loads in it.      I haven't tumbled rock in a while and have Lot-O I can use if I get the urge. The Ultra-Vibe is just taking up space now. I would like to get $200.00 $185.00 for it, and I will pay for the shipping  If anyone is interested in it, send me a PM. Roger |

Is this the one made for tumbling brass (ammo cartridges)? The brass tumbler's vibe speed is much higher and it ruins the barrels and rocks.

This is the industrial one designed specifically for tumbling rocks. Thumler's also makes a "light duty" version that has a much thinner bowl which cannot handle the wear from the grit. Both versions actually vibrate at the exact same speed - 3000VPM. It is a very nice tumbler and perfect for someone like myself...I am tremendously impatient lol. Depending on the material and size, I can take rough to final polish in 2-7 days. MOHS 1-3 in 48-72 hours, MOHS 4-6 96-120 hours, MOHS 7-9 in 144-168 hours. Roger |

Have a great night . I still have it if your friend is interested in it The cheapest place I know to buy one new is www.therockshed.com I think they are $215 new + maybe $15.00 shipping ~$230.00. Buying a new bowl for it is $64.00+$15.00 shipping. Mine is in great shape I am lowering the price to $185.00 with shipping now that I priced new bowls. The bowl I have is relatively new and should last quite a while, but it isn't "brand new". Roger |

Hope the surgery goes well for you! I got your message and if I still have it in a month or so, it will mean I have it over-priced  I do hope everything works out for you and the hand. That is slightly more important than a rock tumbler lol. Roger |
