Hi..Just got a used Gold Buddy Drywasher and I am looking to see if i could get a copy of the instruction manual or just a few tips on setting it properly..Seems we are either getting to much or too little down the riffles and since we are new to this are not sure which is the way to go. Any help would be appreciated

There don't appear to be many significant differences between the various brands of drywashers, so far as basic operation is concerned. If you look through this catalog, (its a pdf file), you'll see, (starting on about page 33), that there are books available on this subject:

I wasn't able to find any ebooks online for download. There may be some, but I didn't see them. I did find some videos on this page:

And I would guess that there are other similar videos on UTube.

Set the tray to 37 degrees! I have one of these drywashers and they work amazingly well. Very happy with it. If you have any questions please PM me and I'll give you my #.

As Djui said, about 37 is good Also, pull the bottom out flip it over and use some aluminum duct tape to make a 1/4" dead space under the riffles. Wish I had done this mod when I first got mine. Helps catch the fines.

I can put up a drawing to explain better if needed.
