Quoheleth, Your "green brass" error wasn't the vinegar/salt solution, as such, it is that you didn't flush/rinse it clean after the soaking and before it dried.
What tumbler <$60?

I've been pleased with my Cabela's tumbler kit, also.

Lyman Turbo 1200, I think. ON SALE NOW at Midway. Was $67 IIRC.

I have the Graf's one, and if I remember the warranty card correctly, it's also made by Berry's. It's rather noisy though, with it running I can't really have a conversation in the same room. Any suggestions?

Yep. Use my "Post-Ike Noise Comparison System."
Shut off all power in your house.
Crank up your 10hp generator and run it non-stop for 12 days.
Shut off the generator.
Turn on your tumbler.
It will seem like a mouse's whisper.
Seriously...put it on a piece of rubber matting, like OSHA recommends for standing on at work. If that doesn't help, take the conversation elsewhere.

Frankford was not good for me. Lower motor bearing failed almost immediately. I replaced the bearing, then the one of the wires worked its way out of the connector crimp.
I also have an old Lyman, and although I liked the clear lid on the Frankford, the Lyman is much quieter as compared to the Frankford with good bearings.

i just picked up a vibrator tumbler at harbor freight on sale for $40, plus a 25# bag of walnut shells for $10...tumbled about 400 9mm cases for less than an hour and they were clean and shiny!!! just added a dryer sheet to the dry media to attract dust. couldn't be happier!!!
