Where Can I Buy a Tumbler Motor?

[jmorris]

Hold the tumbler horizontally and rotate it. Does the counter weight rotate and stay down or does it "stick"?

I don't know exactly what motor you have but some housings are staked to the end caps. If yours are I would try squirting them with oil first before taking it apart. As long as "the smoke hasn't been let out of it", it should be a pretty easy fix.

Yeah you could put a few drops of Non detergent 30wt in the bearings. I did that with a vacuum pump of mine 3-4 years ago. Still going strong & pulls to 40ish microns

You are better off buying a new tumbler I replaced three motors in three months after mine burned up. I went through the same stuff you are going through with Dillon. I still have the tumbler if you want it. I bought a thumblers tumbler and will never buy another vibratory.
