Hello, Was wondering if someone can help. I have a model B tumbler and the liner has gotten a few holes in it from when I actually used it for rocks. Problem now is that the liner leaks so bad I cant use it and I cant find a dealer that will ship parts to Canada. Any ideas where I could get just a liner so I don't have to buy a new tumbler?
 
I wonder if the as seen on TV flex seal would work to seal it up? It should stop the water from getting out but I'm not sure how well it would stand up to brass and stainless pins over time. It definitely would need several layers inside.

Model B Barrel Insert and Gasket: $49.95

And now the funny part and something to remember
Google is your best friend for finding information
I googled "thumler's tumbler parts model b" and came up with many parts suppliers.
So in a forum your asking a few people, in Google your asking the entire world.
And your lucky I'm retired with nothing to do and all day to do it.

GOOGLE IT (and you will get better answers than "tagged") :bangHead:

Thankfully - I work in IT and know what 'the google' is and have tried both of those places already. I even used the *gasp* telephone! (Given that you are retired - you might remember these). Neither place answered my questions or even responded.

I find this comment rude. I have "googled", called, emailed ect. Those who have them in the USA don't ship to Canada. And those that do are out of stock. Please keep your rude comments to yourself.

They didn't respond because they know you Canadians moved our American Star Gate and Cheyenne Mountain to Vancouver. :stirthepot2:
(or else your phone lines are shorted out from all the rain)
 
If you cant get a new bowl try to line the inner with Goop. Clean the inside with rubbing alcohol or brake fluid. Just spread it over the holes and let it set up.
 
There was a guy in Edmonton, or Sherwood Park selling all sorts of parts on the EE. I'll try to find him for you. I lost my belt for a bit and was going to get a new one from him but found mine being used as a hair elastic on my daughter's doll...

I had no idea parts for the tumbler were so hard to get in Canada and apologize, it was meant as humor, it was late and I was on my third Gin and Tonic.

If an American could buy the parts here in the U.S. could they be shipped to Canada by a individual without any problems?

Yes that is possilble. There is no law that prohibits them being imported into Canada. It is just a rubber liner for a rock tumbler.

Thank you for the apology. It is accepted. I didn't notice you lived in the USA and wouldn't have know our situation.

I've purchased two Thumler Model T-100 over the last year from Hobby Wholesale in Edmonton. One for me and one as a gift. hobbywholesale.com They don't stock any parts, but maybe they have a line on them. Otherwise, maybe Bedrock Supply in Edmonton?
 
The literature that came with my Tumbler's Tumbler had the following address;

Tru-Square Metal Products, 640 First St., S.W., P.O. Box 585, Auburn, Washington 98071.

The person I bought it from had this address;

740 Queensland Drive, S.E., Calgary Alberta, T2J 4T1.

He used to advertise on CGN.
 
I got 2 tumblers for free from scrap my dad picked up. My problem is that I don't have the barrels or liners :(
I've been using a combo of 2KG peanut butter containers for walnut tumbling and protein powder containers with plastic agitators glued inside for wet tumbling. The lid leaks a little water, but you can't find any parts for the damn things.
