GreyghostVibratory 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.

graycgI'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.

HockeyPuckI 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!
