So I found 2 of these on FB Marketplace. I just wanted 1. My wife, my enabler and yes I return the favors,said and I quote " I know how you are so get both". Being the good husband I try to be, I chose that moment to thoroughly understand and listen to wife. I bought both. After said purchase, I told my wife I will be needing another Rebel 17 and more rocks. When she asked why, I read the description from Kingsley and with a smile, said " I got both like you told me too. Now I gotta feed them." Just trying to be a good husband, listen to wife as appropriate and advise her when it's far too late to back out that I'll need more tumblers & rock.

Trust me, I checked every site I could find to make sure I was good, lol. Best part, I have less in both shipped than a new UV-18.

That is some serious capacity. We always have at least two 15lb. and 2 6lb. barrels going rotary, at times more. A UV-10 has handled it all pretty well and with an added Lot-O we are pretty in sync with the rotaries feeding the vibes.
Good luck, should be fun, we love our UV-10.

I have 2 Rebel 17s and 4 3pounders going now. I threw my AR-6 barrel out the front door last night because it flexes too much and refuses to track straight. Got plans for it to stiffen it up but if it wasn't bogging the motor down from rubbing the back, it was walking to the front and stopping the pully. I'm thinking of another Rebel base and using the AR-12 base for the AR-6 barrels.

Going to run course in the 15 pounders. Never really got the scope of how big the UV-45s are with nothing in the pic for scale. The deal was too good to pass up.

I would never ever remotely entertain the thought that she wasn't right. However, I now have to start putting cabbing stuff together since I now have my equipment and she wants to play with cabs and wire wrapping.

Wow! Are you sure you only need one more Rebel?!? That’s a great score—both the tumblers and the wife!

My advice is: Learn to cab! 😂 Join a rock club and you can learn. You will love it. It's like tumbling with your hands. Awesome score on the UV-45 that thing must be a monster.

I wouldn't have a choice even if I didn't want to. I'm the slabber and cutter out of the 2 of us. Already looking at cab machines for the next purchase.

I have 8" heavy duty PVC pipe I'm thinking of making into barrels. Depends on what is cheaper, 15 lb barrel or home built. Was shooting for a 40lb unit on eBay that only needed a motor but the bidding got too close to a new unit to worth winning.
