I was cleaning brass yesterday and my green vibrator motor got stuck. I was able to spin it manually and it started working again. I am thinking over its replacement.
My first vibrating tumbler was a Frankford and the motor did not last 20 hours.
My green one I replaced it with I have had for years, but not used heavily, probably less than 100 hours. Getting back into active reloading and buying once-fired brass that needs cleaned. I (currently) use dry walnut media, with a bit of polishing additive. And I have just started using citric acid wash in a separate process. For longevity sake is a vibratory or rotary tumbler more durable?
And wet or dry, or both in turn?
