Need a new tumbler

[308Loader]

Where can you get a Lyman 1200 for $60. The 1200 with autoflow is $103 at Midway

Got mine at the Fleet & Farm, I've seen them at Cabals for the same on sale. Woops, shoulda kept on reading. Glad to hear you fixed it. if you shoot a lot of different calibers or sort your brass by head stamp, I find 2 tumblers a blessing. No need to resort after sizing and tumbling for the 2nd time. Or for that matter you can separate your 556 and 9mm, or 45 and 9 and tumble both at the same time without the cases stacking during tumbling.

Roland,

Glad we solved it. Not a lot to go wrong on such a basic mechanism, and I got mine in the early 1980's and bought the separator bowl for it when they first came out. Still runs fine, so the apparent short life of yours was surprising. It's an overbuilt machine to being with.

On June 24 I got a new Lyman 1200 tumbler that I ordered on Amazon. I've used it a grand total of 2 times. 2 nights ago, I turned it on and set the timer for 4 hours and put about 60 pieces of brass in it. I used the bowl and cover from the 1200 w/auto flow that I mentioned earlier in this thread that was not working anymore. Lyman had told me that the auto flow bowl could be used with any 1200 tumbler they offer. I thought, after I turned it on, that it sounded a lot louder than my previous 1200 w/auto flow. When I came out in the morning, the bowl was laying on it's side, the threaded stem had broken in two, apparently from the vibration. I called Amazon and they are sending me a new one overnight.
