i have a thumbler's tumbler mod. B. haven't used it for over 20 years. i bought it used for $25.00. anyway, the problem is that the motor gets very hot. (can't hold your hand on it for more than a few seconds) a new motor cost $89.00. while reading the web page about the motors; i see that they advertise 2 new tumblers. one with 1550 rpm and the other at 3000 rpm. the 3000 rpm is advertised to be used for brass tumbling. I'm sure that mine is the 1550 because, its pretty slow. anybody have the faster one? and if i buy a new tumbler, is there a better one than the thumbler brand? thoughts? suggestions?
