Today while cruising Craigslist I came upon a Lortone Tumbler, R40 model. First thing I did was check Lortone's website and discovered that they get big money for these machines. I did not see this model but similar ones where $500 to $800. No phone # so I sent the email reply with my cell # never expecting to get a call back but lo and behold he called as I was on my way home from work so I went to look at it. And I bought it, $140.00. It is in excellent condition, does not appear to have had a lot of use. It came with a container of multi shaped ceramic media. It is out in the garage right now running with about 1500 9MM in it. It is so quiet. Here is a pic. The one gallon paint can is for scale. I think I am going to like this machine.
