Won a nice rock tumble at a local auction, $26, what a deal! Went to get it and it was way to heavy. Pulled it open and it was full of concrete, so I thought.
After a little cleaning and oiling, Tumbler works fine and I have a new collection of rocks.

It took longer to clean up the rocks than it did to get the tumbler back in working order.

At a “rock bottom” cost as well. Good job.

Be nice to see a picture of the tumbler itself, I have three different sizes of Lortone machines. :thumbsup:
For $26.00 you got a great deal... mine cost me between $200 - $600 each.

You found yourself a good deal. It's always nice to have a tumbler in your arsenal of goods.

Can't figure out what's wrong with the photos,
it is the qt12 in your first photo.
I think I got the photos fixed.

It is the QT-12, Older, but looks like it will do way more than I need. I cleaned it up and oiled it, works good.

don't over-fill it with rocks or coins, water, etc - it will go bonk on you!

You got a steal on your Lorne tumbler. Just the machine itself is just around 100 bucks. Good deal!
