I did look through the questions, if I missed it I'm very sorry, I was just wondering why are all the rock tumblers sold out, I been looking on line and it seems all the ones I'm interested in I click on it and they all keep saying sold out or on back order, the one I'm interested in is the Thumlers tumbler model B it's the 15lb model I belive, the slow model not the one for brass, does it have somthing do do with this corona stuff or are there really that many people trying new things since this virus gave people more unwanted time at home

I got a call yesterday from a guy that had been trying to get a hold of Lortone for weeks and still no response. He was looking for parts. I assume it is the virus.

Yup, the Corona virus has mostly every thing non essential shut down. Who say polishing rocks isn’t essential? Heh!

Where have all the tumblers gone....
If you can reach a gem and mineral club, you may find some 'retired' members have some gathering dust in their basements.

Yes, I think that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the supply chain. In addition, people probably decided to start the hobby/upgrade or stock up during COVID-19 shutdowns, causing stock to be depleted.
