Midway 1292: new motor from Grainger costs more than a new tumbler.
New tumbler: Amazon is undercutting MidwayUSA something sick.
Amazon: "hey why not stream some music from a bearded Justin Timberlake while you are sitting around in your house waiting for your tumbler?"

Midway 1292 tumbler
It just blew up.
I was cleaning up some 6.5 Grendel brass and some Lake City 7.62 after success at a range. Stopped the tumbler to have a look, figured they needed a little more cowbell.
I flicked the switch, and sparks jumped out from beneath the bowl, then smoke curled up from within.
Motor is smoked. It had a good run, I probably bought it in '92 or '93, before joining my Sainted Wife in matrimony.
Though running it on the floor of a dusty garage might have hastened its demise.
Maybe somebody has a replacement motor.
