Reloading tumbler replacement

[Tin Star Firearms]

My Dillon Precision CV-500 tumbler has given up after 25+ years of heavy use. Is anyone using anything they would recommend over a new Dillon?

(I have sent a warranty question but I am guessing I know the answer)

Build yourself a wet tumbler that uses the stainless pins.

I have a Lyman Turbo tumbler that I've had for years and it is still going good.

I have the large Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler and have been very happy with it so far.

I have a FA rotary tumbler that works pretty good but it's a PITA getting sealed. I've learned to use a little soap solution and tighten the ends enough to keep the gasket sealed but not get distorted. It's a learned technique and requires some finesse or you have H2O everywhere.

Platinum Series Rotary Wet Tumbler 7L

The Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler delivers a whole new level of brass cleaning performance. The wet tumbler drums hold up to 1000 pieces of .223 brass

I should have saved my $$ and got one of these:

Thumler's Tumbler - Professional Polishers and Tumblers

Supplies Vibratory Tumblers, Rock Polishers, Rock Tumblers and Abrasives to hobbiest and professional metal finishers.

Or like Holmes said, build one. I may do that next.

I am still using my thumblers tumbler from 1985. All I have replaced is belts.

I appreciate the feedback. I should have mentioned my first tumbler was a Thumler I got 30+ years ago and it is still strong.

OK, so are you asking for a new vibratory tumbler instead of any tumbler? If that's the case, I'd just get a new Dillon.

First off what is wrong with it?

If the motor quit, I would replace the motor!

It's hard to beat a Dillon. I've used a Dillon FL-2000 for 30+ years.
