The other day I saw an old Midway vibrator.
It was not the round one everyone has.
It was rectangle.
Looked like the container was a rectangle tupperware.
It was held to a spring mounted plate by rubber cords with hooks on the ends.
I've never see one like it before.
Looks like it would be easy to make one like it.
Anyone have one????
If so, how well does it work???

Sounds like something bubba made after it got done broked.

That is an old one. Haven`t seen one of those for over 20 years, and that was probably a gun show. I do recall seeing them in a catalog or some kind of flyer.Robert

I've got a 20+ year old Midway vibrator still working fine. It's got an orange round bowl though.

I should have bought it.
By the time I got back to it, it was gone.
"He who hesitates loses"
It had a Midway sticker on it, and it looked like something factory made, so I'm thinking it was not home made.
Looks like it would be easy to make one.

Has anyone made a shell vibrator before????
I was thinking of making one out of an old fan.
Use the three speeds to clean faster or slower.

Oh, yeah. I had one of those for a very short time, about 20 years ago. It was the first tumbler I bought, back when Midway sent out a newspaper-style catalog (good deals- remember the free shipping?).

Anyhow, the tumbler didn't hardly work at all, and I sent it back and ordered the round orange one I still use today. They discontinued the "tupperware tumblers" shortly afterward, IIRC.
