Imported Tumbler [Posted on 2007-03-16]
This is a cheap knock off of the Loretone 3A model. The belts are poorly made and break. The bearings for the shaft drive are cheap plastic that fracture and then sieze the unit (after cutting into the body of the tumbler) and the plastic inserts in the armature liquify and seize the motor until it burns out. Very long lead time till parts are available for replacement.
Belts [Posted on 2007-11-01]
Actually this is a very good quality tumbler. My experience has shown as with any high quality tool that once the tools pulleys are adjusted correctly the belts will last a long time, as far as bearings thats what a drop of oil helps to maintain for the life of the unit..You can also use a hoover vacuum cleaner belt once it does wear out..Pretty cheap fix..
Great, simple rock tumbler. [Posted on 2008-01-23]
Definitely worth considering if you just want something cheap, simple and reliable. Works great and is cheap to fix.
