Can the motors of Lyman Tumblers be replaced?

[The Cold Lake Kid]

My Lyman dry tumbler's motor died and I bought a new Frankford unit, but I was wondering if anyone replaces or has replaced the "shaker" motor?

Mine died as well. Seems to be epoxied in place. I had a quick look at it and determined it was disposable.

Yes they can, though it is a job. I have a spare in my loading room right now, though I may not live long enough to use it. - dan

That's what I thought, when I looked at it.
At nearly 80, I have better things worry about and spend my time on.
Thanks Pards.

When mine stopped I gave it a whack with a hammer. Been running several years since...

A similar percussive maintenance session worked on mine for quite a while as well. - dan

maybe it's a fuse that's blown?

I don't see a fuse anywhere in the unit.
New Frankford tumbler and media sifter shaker works well.

(I'm now using a filter mask and gloves, when removing cases and separating the media, before giving the brass a bit of a rinse, after my sawbones suggested I take a little more care.)
