I read here from someone, that a cheaper solution than buying regular media (corncob), go to the pet store and get some small animal bedding.

Well, my media was getting pretty worn and dirty, so I tried it! It works great!
The media is a good bit bigger than the regular stuff, but it works just the same, maybe even better!
Not to mention my brass now has a nice smell to it when it comes out.

The thing about the pet store stuff is: you get like 4 times as much media for like 1/2 the price.
I never really bought the treated media but maybe once, I always just dribbled a litt brass polish in there before adding brass.

I'd say go with the Frankfort Arsenal vibratory tumbler, there's not much to them, and there's only one moving part in the whole thing (the motor).
