I dont own it for pinball work, but I have a pulse fiber laser.. cleans em up super fast but i think ill still get a tumbler because the laser does nothing in the way of shining parts.

Can small metal ramps be tumbled, like what in Flash Gordon?

[@edwarddarby3621]

Great video, as all of your videos. I found a plastic colander with slits instead of small holes, and slightly bigger plastic tub at Walmart for cheap that I place colander in tub, poor media/parts in, sift catching media in tub and parts in colander. Then poor media back in tumbler. Takes less than a minute to capture parts.

You can use novus 2 and novus 3 also in the tumbler which most pinball people should already have on hand

The Franklin can be bought at Midway usa with. a warranty.

Feedback. Video has one flaw. No before/after photos?

[@aarongreenfield9038]

Can you use this method on the pin balls themselves?, they are starting to form little blemishes that I cannot Polish out by hand.

[@MyVintagePinball]

yes, this method works great on pinballs.

Amazon model? LOL. You telling us you don't know who made it. Give them some credit.

*impressed with quality. my unit came 🔎🔍 **allabout.wiki/Lyman** with a pound or so of what looks like stainless steel shot and more importantly a spare o-ring for the access hatch and a toothed-belt for the motor-drum drive. Nice touch.the drum and base are both larger than I expected and heavy.the materials and build quality seem good to very good.it's been running on the slowest speed for the last couple of hours with2 pounds or so of my steel parts to be deburred,4 pounds or so of 1" ceramic stars andwater with a little bit of dawn soapfilled to 1/2 the drum volume.I weighed the drum half filled with the previous mentioned items and it came out a little under 9 **pounds.like**: I like the way the drum hatch gets locked.the robustness of the build and motor.con: no instructions that I can see on how to work the base dials/controls, but I got it running by just turning the knobs.grin.not sure if the timer is on or what the 1/0 switch does (it's not on/off to the motor), timer use maybe ??I'll have another look in the box for the instructions or maybe on line .... this is not a big enough of an issue to take rating stars off my initial 5 star rating.update 10.1.2017: ran it 24hrs/day for 4 days straight with 4 different batches of parts and it worked without issues. My a36 steel parts came out as expected with a nice even finish.BTW not mentioned but as I state in the previous line, I've been running it without a 'timer' limit. I suspect the '1/0' switch when switched to '0' disables the timer ... however I got it to work this way, it's the way I wanted, so I can run it overnight without a 3hr reset of the timer.*
