    Replacing tumbler motor

    Has anyone ever done this? I can imagine you could find a cheap motor for these somewhere. I have a Frankford Arsenal tumbler that finally died. I have a birthday coming up and I believe my wife is getting me a new tumbler with media separator so I’m hesitant to buy a new one, but I could tinker with this one if I get a starting point. So anyone do this before? Is it worth it?

    If she is getting you one maybe ask for it as a early birthday present. [emoji3][emoji6]

    Realistically my birthday is close enough that it’d be here before I even get parts for fixing this one, but a second tumbler would t be the worst thing right?? [emoji6]

    Oh I agree. Nothing wrong with having a backup tumbler.

    I’ve always been reluctant to tumble lubed, sized brass in the same media that gets dirty range brass. It may be time for a second!

    I have two! Wet tumble to clean nasty range brass and corncob to get the sizing lube off. Then back in corncob when they’re done for a final shine
