Can anyone recommend a tumbler at a reasonable price please

Lyman 1200 - I have been running one for years, sometimes for 24 hours at a time and it is still running well albeit mostly for moly coating these days.

best place to buy ?

Any gun shop/dealer should have them. Try Amazon or have a look in the vendors/innovators section on the forum. Or put a add in the wanted section.

I also have a Lyman1200 and it's a great vibratory cleaner if a bit noisy. If you have new media does the job in a couple of hours, after a while it can take a good 24hrs or more. Doesn't clean the inside of the case or the primer pocket like stainless steel rotary tumbling, but does shiny equal more accurate? I don't think so but shiny is so nice to look at :;-)

I don't think shiny makes any difference to the performance. I like to clean cases so I can inspect them for damage split necks etc. before reloading them. I have a tumbler not sure what make I have had it for years never used any thing else does me fine.

I have mine on a cheap time clock so it shuts down when needed.
