Help Identify OLD Lyman Vibrator

[OldLincoln]

I saw this covered in dust and rattling with broken pieces inside, so of course I gave the guy $10 and brought it home. I'm just getting started, anticipating very low volumes and thought it's a cheap way to get started.

I patched it up a little and will firm it up this weekend, but I don't know anything about it other than Lyman doesn't show it on their web site and it doesn't Google.

If you recognize it, please tell me how well it works, is there supposed to be a lid, and anything else.







Thank you all very much and have a great Thanksgiving.

Got a reply from a guy who has one. Said it is called the "Lyman Tubby Tumbler", came with a clear plastic lid, and vibrates the screws loose. Looks like it came out in 1992. I'll have to fashion a lid and use locktite. I expect it to work fine.

UPDATE:

I toughened up the little Tubby with a 3/16" threaded rod across the front where it was separated and a couple other spots. It runs great, nice and quiet without excessive shaking, doesn't even walk on the work bench top. I just cleaned a batch of 65 45ACP casings in corn plus a dash of Brasso and after 4 hours they look new.

Another poster said don't sell these short as he used one for years and was happy with it. Looks like I'm off to a good start for a $10 tumbler.
