Hi Stephen

These things turn up from time to time on Ebay - but if you want to buy retail
(and the Ebay ones tend to cost almost as much as straight retail!) then you
can try a couple of places :-

I've just come back to tumble-polishing after a gap of some 25 years - and I
bought a kit including tumbler, stone, barrels and grit from Manchester
Minerals - here's the link

http://www.manchesterminerals.co.uk/...ml#a10_2d006Bu
ndle

there are many other online suppliers - but I was impressed with how helpful
Manchester Minerals were - fast despatch also (and no, I don't work for them!)

If you need more information about tumbling then please ask - my parents and I
ran a business in Cornwall selling (amongst other things) tumble-polished
gemstones - we tended to work in 10 - 15 lb batches!

Hope this helps

We call those tumblers. A lot of people like the Lortone tumblers.
