Vibratory Tumbler's
Some of you guy's who've been re-loading for years. Which vibratory type tumblers have you found to be the most reliable? Something maybe that will handle 100 cases at a time, nothing massive needed. I've heard stories that some of the name brand stuff: RCBS, Franklin Arsonal, and the likes don't last long. To me they all look like they are made by the same manufacturer.

My Midway vibrator has lasted a lot longer than it has any right to.

I've got a Lyman 1200 and a Midway smaller model and the Lyman was bought new in 1985 and the Midway around 1990, for what I paid for them, they have been wonderful bargains!!!...both have made at least 7 or 8 military moves also...so they are pretty tough too!!

I think the Frankford Arsenal one is the one Midway used to sell.

regards and don't sweat buying either of these machines.

I had to have Midway replace two of their tumblers within the last year. I had an old Vibra-Shine that lasted for 8 years before biting the bullet. I searched for another without luck for some time, thus the Midway's.
Last night I found their web site, which is new, (www.vibrashine.com) and their large capacity tumbler was only $69 and some change. Guess what I bought last night!

I have two of the Lyman Turbo 2200's with the little auto-flo spout on the side...both work great.
