I rebuilt my wife's rotary rock tumbler . It's some what like this one https://rocktumbler.com/thumlers/model-b.shtml . The drums are interchangeable. Her rock tumbler is much older and can run two drums, one vertically. I have spare drum . Can I run brass in it ? Will brass necks and primer pockets get clean ? Tips? THX

Yes, I'd run it in the horizontal position however. Make sure your seal is good, use cold water and stainless steel pins. Some folks like to add a touch of citric acid and dish soap. I've cleaned range pickup brass that has sat for 40 years and turned solid black back to bright factory clean in every crevice.
