Anyone have an old Beacon Star Tumbler gathering dust and taking up space they'd like to get rid of? Looking for parts. Hate to say good bye to an old friend that has served well.  |

3 bearing cups, have no clue how I managed to hang on to 1. And the idler roller. I suspect it's the same as the drive roller just without the big pulley.

I retro fitted My machine because of Missing parts. The idle arm is not Straight but grooved to Handle the rubber Drum.. What size drum do you have . I used 1/2 ' steel shaft and I have additional Bushing. that are not Original but was able to snap on the ends. and did work.. The pm system is not good Here . I will give you my direct email. . If you send me a Photo . I cam possible Judge what you need.
The bushing I used were only $3.00 each. I have extras . But You may get them @ local hardware store. The straight shafts are @ hardware stores also.
My email address Is ammunitionartifacts@gmail.com

Thanks for the offer salpal. I have modified it and it runs fine. Was hoping to get original parts so it would look right. I'll keep crusing the garage sales. Know I'll come across one eventually.

Standard cold rolled steel shaft stock works for most tumblers as long as right diameter. Tygon or other braided (nylon reinforced) hose works to cover shaft for barrel traction. Tygon sold by the foot at Home Depot and probably most hardware stores.
