Hello all-This is Ed Myhro. I used to belong to this board before I left due to health problems. I want to very much
get back into the swing of things again. Could someone please suggest a tumbler so I can get back into it. I tried
the Rock Shed but they are out of all the tumblers.
Thank you all for your help and I will search the site for some answers but I enjoy your output.

Ed M.

I would give that a try if I was in the market for another 12 pounder. I was notified in only a couple days.

Welcome back!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Regarding tumblers, another member was having moving sale (https://forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/96619/moving-sale-parting-tumbling-rough). They had a large Lortone listed.

Thank you for your warm words. I am still on the hunt for a new tumbler. I am thinking that I need a rather quiet one as I live in a apartment.
I realize there will be some noise but the least the better. Any ideas from the rock tumbling world?

Welcome back.

Know that many do not like them, but my Chicago Electric tumbler is very quiet, but it only has 3 lb. barrels.
Have been running it almost nonstop since 2016 with no problems. I did do some adjustments prior to using, such as replacing the belt with an O-ring.
I was doing weekly maintenance on it. Now am doing an extended run as an experiment. It has been going nonstop for over a year with nothing done to it.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.
