Howdy Doody Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 First thing I noticed was the cases all grouped together head down at the bottom and I had some not too used corn cob media in it. I ran it for about an hour and the cases were not anywhere as bright as usual. I changed out to walnut media and ran it again. At first the cases tumbled around, but after checking on it an hour later, again the cases were all lined up in a circle at the bottom of the bowl. So, that was 44-40 and then I decided to pull those out and had some .38 spl to clean and I dumped them in too. Same results. It seems the vibrater is doing something, but maybe not enough strength to tumble the cases like it did. I saw no cases hit the cover (it is clear), so I think it might be worn out. I have the same load of abot 200 38 spl in it as I always cleaned. What do you think? Is it time to get a new one? Any brand better than another. Mine is from Midway.

Train Robber 13659 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi there H.D. You might take a look under the motor as it sounds as if the counterweight that causes it to wobble has come off . Train Robber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm with Train Robber, if it's still running, it sounds as if something is loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Lumpy if you could see me shoot, then that means I wasn't using enough powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ya know HD, you B correct about that. You "wobble" to the line and it gets a-bit foggy after that :lol: Cheers, LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
