My friend used to leave his Dillon tumbler on for up to 24 hrs at a time. It had a meltdown. Nothing serious, just stopped working.
Dillon replaced it for him.

I let my Lyman tumbler run all day while I'm at work sometimes. It has a replaceable 2 amp fuse though. Came home one day and it wasn't on...Fuse good...Called Lyman, they said "No user servicable parts inside!" "Send it in with 80 bucks and we'll replace it" (I got the big one.) So I took my Dremel and a cut off wheel and cut the air screen thing loose from the bottom of it and fixed the loose electrical connection. Been running fine ever since.

I throw away my media when it gets black. How many of Ya'll use liqued Turtle wax (ammonia free) for polish instead of the expensive Dillon stuff? The Dillon stuff is GFP, but its also TFE!
