Ok there is one of these available a couple towns over. Used obviously but it looks to be barely used. I’m considering picking it but my question is since this has a different base and possibly motor will the current QT 12 belts, motor, rollers, etc work with it? I don’t want to buy it if the parts are obsolete. Someone on here has to have one hopefully.

I think the shafts are the same, but the bearings look like pillow block which I don't think they use now. Maybe contact Lortone directly? I know they are bad at responding though. Barrel and barrel parts are all the same, but I'm not sure about the motor or belt.

Thanks Perk. That’s exactly what I noticed and was thinking too. I figure someone on here has to have one or had one and will know the ins and outs of this unit.

Everything you mentioned as being perhaps obsolete and worrisome are hardware items, not manufactured to be specific to the machine. A good hardware store person could help you out with parts you don't know about.

quartzilla I'm glad to hear you ended up getting it. Lortone models last forever. I love my 33b. Be sure to post pictures of your batches! -Nicholas
