Last Sunday evenin I was preppin some brass & had some rifle brass in a rack that had tarnished & some that needed more tumblin so I threw em in & away it goes , a nice hummin noise to drown out my tinitus, AAahh !!

Finished the brass & closed up shop ,fast forward to tonite ,I walk in my reloading room & the Lyman 1200 was still runnin I figured the motor was ready to ignite & take off like a roman candle , but to my suprise I felt it (open bottomed model & felt of the actual motor) & it was warm to the touch but nuttin like I expected it to be !!

Gotta put some timers on the go getem list !!!

Mind you my reloading room is in a different dwelling so it`s easy to leave & forget summtin or leave the lites on ,or tumbler & not see or hear until next visit !!!

I have had one of those units for at least 30 years -- just keeps on going!

Mine is in my shop also, and I'm guilty for the same reasons.....

I've done the same thing...on PURPOSE. Somebody sent me a big batch of 5.56 brass, so I decided to tumble ALL of it. 4 hours per batch (8 if I put it in before bed). I had the tumbler running 24 hours a day for a week. The thing's loud, but it will take a BEATING.
