But it looks like the Cabela's deal is way better.

I've had the Model B for 10 years and it still works perfectly!! No problems---seals are all still good!! Ceramic media is the way to go! I've tumbled easily 100 or more chassis in that time and it's still going strong with the original media!

FWIW

 

I've also tumbled up to 6 chassis at a time and it works great that way too!!

Thanks for the info, Tim.

Are you or other guys adding the Buffalo arms cleaner or anything else like dishwashing detergent?

I"ve used the Buffalo Arms cleaner and low suds Dove.  It does foam up a little-- I remove my chassis with a wire hook and then just wash them off with water.  Then I hit them with WD40 all over and let them dry.  If I need to solder on them I hit those points with motor spray or lighter fluid and keep building.
