I ran it for 8 hours or more and the brass looks fine. I will probably load some of it later today. Batch#2, which is smaller, is now in.

A guy who works at the LGS took the old tumbler as he said he would tinker with the motor and see if he could get it running again. I hope that he can fix or repair the motor and get it working for another 30 years.
