Can anyone give me some advice on where would be the best place online to purchase parts for my Model B Thumler. I need to purchase a new gasket and I would like to purchase a new lid if I can find one.
Thanks
Bob

Thanks, The Rockshed has the best price. I can get by with refurbishing the lid. It's not a sealing surface anyway. I bought the tumbler used at a Rock show really cheap. It was pretty nasty, but it's fixable. I may have to get a new liner also but will wait and see how it cleans up. It's not worn but pretty dirty. I was thinking about running it for a while with some hard gravel and sand to check the operation and clean the liner at the same time. Any thoughts on that?

if it was me id rinse out the barrel run a reguler 60/90 run with rocks for a week then do a borax run for acouple hrs with the rocks after a good rinse that should clean it up nice when i use the borax the barrels come up lookin new and by runnin the 60/90 and rock you will break up the dirt and old grit first seeya john

Hey Bob, if you get stuck and need something that nobody carries, you can always call Thumler's at 1-800-225-1017 and get anything from them.

Hey John, by borax do you mean like the soap "Boraxo" or something more specific? And if so where can I get some?
Thanks

hi all ---bob i went to the acme market and went to the laundry detergent isle and got a big box for about 3.00 and some change it says right on it this is a laundry additive and not a soap add along with your usuall soap and wash. i threw the box out but i think it was plain borax ( not the boraxo thats a soap) the plain borax dosent foam up like soap so you wont blow any lids off docone said something about this awile back and i have used it since and havent had a prob yet was a great tip evrything gets clean at the same time ok seeya---john
