I got back from the range this morning and threw my brass into the RCBS tumbler. I have it out in the garage so I don't have to listen to it. I went out to check a hour later and it wasn't on.
Checked it out and it would not work. It's an '05 manufacture date and I'm just a every other week shooter. It doesn't get a workout if you know what I mean. I start thinking I'm going to have to buy a new one.
The more I thought about it, I decided to disassemble it and see what was the problem. Turns out the cord is spliced by solder to the motor leads. My hot wire splice had somehow broke (from vibration perhaps)and was concealed by heatshrink. I went ahead and used a barrel stak-on to re-splice and she is as good as new.
Moral of the story: Remain calm and work your problem.
P.S. I like shiny brass.
