I am getting tired of having to buy a new vibratory tumbler every 2-3 years. Midway x 3, Dillon now trending downward, and the new CV750 is $130 or so. Some years back somebody came up with a rotating tumbler that was a plastic bucket (the ubiquitous white bucket, I think) and was simply lying sideways at about a 45 deg angle on a couple of turning rollers (like old wringer washer rollers). The top could be open or closed, and the media wet or dry, and it held a LOT of brass. Not being a vibrating motor, it lasted much longer, and could be easily swapped out. Anyone recall this, or even better, have plans? I know what it looks like & could make one through trial & error, but I stopped re-inventing wheels when I retired from the AF...
