Replacement bowl for Frankford Arsenal tumbler?

[midnightson]

I have three motors and one serviceable bowl. FA has discontinued the tumbler and spare bowls. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute bowl that will work on the FA bottom unit?

What does the old bowl look like?

Make a standard type base for them. You could make it out of plywood or a piece of 1x12. Cut it the correct diameter, put a 1/4" rod in the center, and screw it down using the existing tabs. After that, a standard tumbler bowl will fit.

I've got one if you need it. My motor died some time ago. I see Rich offered too, but if you need it let me know.

I thought mime was done. Opened the bottom, put drop or 2 of oil on the shaft going into the motor, spun it a little by hand, let it sit a day or so, it is still running normally over a year later. Never thought that would work.

I found one on feebay. awhile back. I grabbed 2 because of the discontinuing. I also did some digging why it would break. The mounting screws need to be evenly tightened. I tightened by hand until the screw bottomed out. Then counted turns with the screw driver. And did the rest of the screws the same amount of turns.

I used a 2.5 gallon bucket on my vibrating one.
