Well still up mess creek on this one and I need a tumbler.

I'd be happy to buy another Berry at this point for Pinrestore has stoped selling them and I checked the Berry website and they won't sell Internatonaly without a $500 minimum order.  

Tried to contact Dillon Precision about shipping costs for their tumbler and they never got back to me.

So anyone have any suggestions on where I can get a new tumbler???

This is the one I got a couple of months ago:
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas.....yncharset=ISO-8859-1

I think with shipping and exchange it came to about $85. It's made by Berry and comes with a lifetime warranty (I think - would have to check that). Works great.

Have you tried Cabela's?

... Great Stern minds think alike...

Well I just talked to the guy at Pinrestore, asked him why he stopped carrying Berry tumblers, he said it was because they changed the motor to some cheap POS one.  He said he had a ton of returns when it came to the unit as the motor doesn't work well when it came to steel.  Worked fine for brass but I guess It couldn't handle the pinball parts.  He is still looking for a sutible replacment.  

If the tumblers you are suggesting are made by Berry I may have to pass as I don't want to have to buy a new one every year as I tumble quite a bit of pinball metal.

Don't be fooled by the lifetime warranty as if they find you have been tumbling anything other then brass it voids the warranty.  

I'm not sure how they could figure that out. It's not like I'd tell them.

*shrugs* I've read of problems people on RGP have had with getting the Lifetime warranty validated with Berry.  Mabye based on the way the motor burns out they are able to tell that it was used for something other then brass. who knows.  

Other side of the coin is last thing I'd want to be dealing with is being right in the middle of a shop job and having it break down, then having to go threw the hassle of getting it replaced.  Rather just spend a little more for a quality unit and not have to worry about that.  

But then again I guess beggers can't be choosers as I don't have any other options.

I sent another email to Dillon Precision about shipping costs hopefully they get back to me.

Man I can't friggin win!!

So I decide to go ahead with the Cabella's tumbler as the Dillon isn't getting great reviews.

So go to place the order, item is on backorder, they won't let me place an order unless I order 2 tumblers!  Jebus who knew it would be this F#@*#@# hard to get a F#@*#@# tumbler, f***.  

Anybody want to split shipping with me on a second tumbler?

And if you get both before March 1st, I can bring the second tumbler to MTL for free on March 1st if anyone wants it.

Just out of curiosity... have you looked into getting a better motor for your old Berry? I still have mine from 2004 and it still runs good. My barrel tumbler is from 1977 and it is also still running good. Mind you, I rebuilt it...

I would but I read this on the Berry website so didn't bother trying to contact them:

*Do you sell internationally?
We do not sell to retail consumers outside the US. We have a program allowing international sales to wholesale accounts with a $500 minimum order.

No idea where else to get a Berry motor.
