Help me ID my red case cleaner!

[tom2]

Have had this vibratory case cleaner a long time but I totally forget what brand it is. Has a warning label on one side but no brand or trademarks otherwise. Resembles the red Hornady M2 but different in details like the silver bottom and some hardware. RCBS are green and Lyman orange. I suppose someone must have the identical model and knows for sure. Thanks.

An older Hornady perhaps???

Maybe...maybe. I think it is early 90s but no recollection. I cannot find an image of it yet searching online. Like I said, it has some close resemblance to the discontinued Hornady M2 but different details, and I am surprised that Hornady would not have a trademark or label on it.

My "red" guess was Hornady too .

You know Thumler's rotary model B tumbler has always been red ...

their new vibratory units bowls are black or silver ... But

I wonder if the first Thumler's Vibratory tumblers had red bowls to match the red Model B rotary units ... I don't remember !

is there a start button on the base? inline switch? Base will probably be Hornady Most Hornady bases were black.oops inline...

I have one that looks just like it, with an in-line switch also and it's a Berry's.

Thumlers Tumbler came to mind but I cannot say there is a connection to what I remember. I did google them but all I get are current offerings on most of these case cleaners. I wonder if one company made them all as the Lyman and RCBS and Hornady etc. all have some family resemblance in the models with the same style bowl. I got a black Lyman sifter cover for the thing too but otherwise every Lyman I have seen is orange. I cleaned a bunch of rifle cases recently and I just plucked them out of the walnuts by hand. I could have used a cat litter sifter too! It does have the inline switch like Hornady but never found a Hornady with rubber feet and silver base.
