Well the hornady tumbler I bought some time around 2008 that I ran into the ground finely died its final death last week.
After beating on it for years by polishing un told thousands of casings, for me and a couple other people, polishing socket sets, copper pipe fittings, small bus bars, brass plumbing fittings and really anything that would fit in the blow it gave up.
During the post mortem I found that the bearings and bearing seats have warn out.
The bearing still had a clearly visible part number.
The bearing is metric, a 7mm shaft, 22mm over all diameter and 7mm over all bearing thickness. Bearing from the VXB company, part number 627-2RS replacing the original 627S bearings.
Total cost $16.
They are in the mail and hopefully I can bring the old red shaker back to life.
