Arrgh!

[Bob Wright]

I came home from the range today, logged in my shooting, and then dumped my empties into the case tumbler. Pressed the switch and it tumbled a couple of revolutions and then-----------dead silence. Motor has locked up.

Went to Midway site and they no longer carry my model. Finally found Tru Square Metal Products and they still make my model, the Thumbler's Tumbler AR-2. But won't have any until July.

I like this model because it has two drums that are a perfect fit for 50 handgun cases. By holding fifty in each of two barrels, I can polish 100 rounds at a time. And this keeps my cases separate as I keep track of each box as to the number of times it has been loaded, and keeps headstamps separated as well.

Can’t you just order a new motor from someplace? Or is the rest of the tumbler wearing out also?

First thing I'd do... go get a special tool... give it a good wack with a hammer...

Grangers has just about every small motor ever made....

July is only a few days away.
