Quoted from timab2000:Don't waste your $ on the 5lb one get the 18lb. You'll be glad you did.
Harbor freight???
And also, would a 4 bank drop target assembly not fit in a 5lb tumbler? I'd have to see in person if it did or not. It's not like I restore machines or anything, it'd be for the (very) occasional classic machine that needs a proper shop job.
Quoted from JodyG:Drop target assembly definitely won't fit in a 5 lb. There is a rod going up through the middle so you can screw the lid on, so that kills your space in there.
Even disassembled? I'm thinking the backing plate is probably the biggest thing (I'm referring classic Bally)
Quoted from JodyG:It might be a tight squeeze on the backing plate. But I don't have an assembly in my stash or I'd check it out for you. Is yours rusty, or gunky? On something like that, the Evaporust bath usually takes care of any corrosion for me.
No rust. I'm just thinking for future games where I can use the tumbler to clean the mechs instead of the ultra-sonic. I worked on a Stars recently that had some green powder (corrosion I'm assuming) on the mechs where the US cleaner took off the flaky stuff, but I would think in that case a tumbler might have done a better job. I'm also considering price, footprint, and noise as factors.
Quoted from russdx:what are these dryer sheets? is this a usa thing hehe?
my media gets very dirty sounds like these sheets will help solve that issue[quoted image]
