My Midway Thumber was not working right. I opened the base by removing the three screws on its "feet"... lots of black dust in it. I took it outside and blew it all out with an Air Compressor and oiled up the motor beaings...wiped it down and it ran just fine. IMHO it should all be sealed better, but maybe if it were the fan could not cool it enough. IMHO one should occassionally take it apart and clean/oil it and I would think they would last many, many years. My Thumbler tumbler is for 1980 and still works..because the motor is in the open air and can easily be oiled.

You won't regret the Thumler Model B. They are made for tumbling stones, which is a 3-week process. Running brass for a few hours is not going to wear them out.

I have 2 Dillon tumblers, that are more than 10 years old. one for cleaning and one for polishing, sometimes they both run 24 X 7.
They have both broke down on me though, where the electrical wires attach to the motors. The wires broke where the female disconnect terminals are crimped on, I did away with the disconnect terminals and soldered the wires right to the motor terminals, this was several years ago.

I mentioned my Midway tumbler...it just started acting up again. Turn it on and no tumbling. I removed the aluminum base plate...the only way it will work is if I give the fan blade a spin when I turn it on.
