My Lyman turbo tumber motor burned up. I ran it for 24 hours because i forgot about it. I am going to hook the new one on a timer so it will run for a few hours each time. Any other ideas?

I have two of the Cabelas tumblers and I have let them run for up to 3 or 4 days at a time many times to clean tarnished brass or when I was doing a lot of shooting and would dump one load and fill it right back up. I've had them both for over 10years and never had an issue other than the clear plastic lids spider webbing which I fixed with jb weld and duct tape. I figure if they become unusable I'll make new lids out of thin plywood.

35 plus 6 bucks shipping for a new base that includes the motor. I just bought a new one for sixty.

I would contact lyman and tell them the situation they should replace it for nothing, they have good customer service

Good idea, i will call them
