I purchased a 1970s-ish Skilcraft tumbler w a grinding wheel. It has a Lortone barrel and I swear I read somewhere it also has a Lortone motor in it. The day I started my first tumble it was hot and smelled like it was burning. My boyfriend decided it needed a new motor, he says he’s pretty sure it’s a Lortone motor In there. Before I buy it and am wrong just wanted to get a second opinion. Is the motor also interchangeable with a Lortone motor? The barrel is the 1.5lb one btw.

Can you send a picture of the machine and the motor? I haven’t heard of that machine before. I’m guessing that the Lortone motor would work but they’re pretty low powered and might not work for the grinding wheel.
Anyway, photos would help with an answer.
