VINTAGE SET TUMBLER 1.jpg  

A useful tool made using Vintage set parts plus some traditionals, plus a Glass ex- Large Pickled Onion jar - Dimensions 180mm Overall length x 95mm Dia. 1/2 Turn lid. - I deliberately designed the machine so that the Jar is tilted backwards to be supported by the two free running rollers and engage with the rear horizontal roller when fitted. -- PARTS 2 x No 52, 2 x No 48a, 4 x No 126a, 2 x No 9, 1 x No 45, 5 x No 23c, 2 x No 38a, 3 x No 59 (ex 19b boss) 3 x No 22, 3 x No 22ap, 1 x No 23a, 4 x No 16, 1 x No 17, 2 x No 142c, 3 x No 155, 22 Allen hed bolts, 22 Nuts, 4 x No 38 washers. 1 x No 186 drive band - 1 x 1.5mm sectional Dia 'O' ring x 32mm inside Dia 1 x Black Tri-axle shaft motor with 19:1 Gearbox - Cable fitted with 3.5mm Jack socket. Power - Suitable 300mA variable 3-12 volt Mains-DC adater. Speed @ 3V. Approx 30 RPM NOTES 1 - When viewed from the front - The Jar lid must be at the front and the gearbox should turn clockwise so as to run the Jar Counter clockwise to avoid the likelihood of the top becoming unscrewed under load. NOTE - 2 - SAFETY - If the machine is not screwed down to a heavy wood base, it is risky to run at High speed above 120 RPM with an un-loaded Jar, or at any time, near to the edge of the work bench. My Brass cleaning Mixture - 200mL White Vinegar - 200mL Cillit Bang Power Cleaner (or equivalent)1 level tablespoon Ajax or equivalent scouring powder Small Handful of 10mm Pea shingle. So Have a go and let me know. -- Do what thou wilt shall be the only law

I guess this will be my first model! When I get some nuts and bolts, don't have any yet!

The stuff is in very rough condition and I fear more drastic methods are needed. I have been spinning the wheels in a drill and cleaning them with a wire brush and then coarse and fine steel wool. They look fine to me.

Cheers

Mick
