Picked this little mixer up at a junk store years ago....
Been sitting around and when I got into reloading here recently , it has turned into a blessing !
It was designed as a five gal bucket paint mixer and as you can see I use it now for washing range lead/processing brass.
Washed a bucket full of various cal. brass that had been exposed for years (tarnished green) in the usual mix of vinegar/lemon juice/salt/dish soap and later on tumbled it all and it came out great!

Fun toy and it helps out in the over all process.

Have used it inside the shop with tumbling media for brass also....but for the most part I use my Frankford Arsenal vibratory for that.

Okay rwt101 , .. You got my curiosity up and I had to see for my self..

Chased it down and it seems a company called Manufab puts them out.
All this time and I was not aware...!
Any how , typical flee bay , a brand new one goes for a little less than what they want for that one ( esp. that model ! )
Got lucky back when I guess , mine was well used and it came with three different paddle attachments , plus angle adjustments.
Can't remember exactly how much but don't think I paid more than fifty bucks for it .
Thanks for the heads up rwt101 !

By the way for any body that is interested .... mixall.com
