At this time I would like to share with the other member some of the Older Unique Tumbling equipment I have in my Tumbler collection. That is available to the Loader. both of these were made in the &0's-80' and mainly used in the lapidary. Cleaning cartridge cases was not as popular when I started Loading in The late 60's. and only new I loader that was doing it. At the time i was cleaning with Chromic acid. It worked wonders Cleaning but Highly Toxic. I still use it Once and a while.
Well enough of the Bull
The photo enclosed are
1 on the left Slik Tumbling Man . By SE LANGDON. 3 lb capacity
on the right a Viking VT-6 6lb by viking . This model is still made by Diamond Pacific
both of these machine are used in Lapidary . They have a Unique tumbling movement because of the angle of Incline and The shape of the Drum
They are not fast moving but due to it's design do a fast and good polish
they look strange but they are available on the secondary market.If you can find these and resonable . they would be a good tool to add
. Thanks foe Looking
