My 1st Lortone was my Dad's,I inherited when he passed.....Its the small one,but old school tough,green paint instead of blue...
The motor finally went out(last fall),so replaced it and its like brand new again.. Runs like a charm..
My second Lortone, the 45C was gifted to me from a good friend....I ran it for a few years and decided to order all new working parts for it,tore it down and found out the motor needs replaced too-so got one coming from The Rock Shed..It will be like new again too...
Just ordered a brand new 45C Lortone last week and its rolling already....

God,family and life.....

So pics of tumbled rocks should be just around the corner. A man with a plan. Good job Dale

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
