Where to buy Thumlers Tumbler

[Kevincrossville]

Hey, I've searched high and low with no results. Does anyone know a place in Nashville or maybe Cookeville that sells the Thumlers Tumbler model B high speed? It's out of stock alot of places online so i was going to try to look locally. Thanks

Funny that you should ask, I am going to buy the same one. I am going to buy online though, i.e. Amazon, Ebay, etc. I was going to press the buy it button today. The pricing appears to be in the $170-$180ish range delivered. There is a used one on ebay right now.

I went with a bigger setup. I built it half myself and half with parts from http://www.biggdawgtumblers.com

 

I can tumble about 1000 9mm cases at a time.

Wow that's awesome. I've been researching for a while and for some reason never came across bigdawg or that topic. I like to build stuff so I think I may hold off on cleaning the brass until I try this project. Any pointers? I watched his youtube video and his comments said he had some build plans somewhere so im gonna try to search for those. What do you estimat as your total cost?

I'm not sure what I ended up with in it. Dad welded up the frame for me. I didn't like the footprint of the biggdawg design and saved a bit by doing it myself.  

 

I figure I have $250-300 in everything. That includes 12lb of media.

I hadn't either but Im thinking I might be able to scrounge parts to make a tumbler on the cheap. I read that a member over at snipers hide has a friend that can get the stainless media cheaper than anyone online. Is anyone here a member over there and could maybe get me the contact information? The user is suasponte, his contact with the media is in south carolina i think. If i build a large drum i may need 15-20 lbs of media i just can't pay $50 a pound for it.
