Brand New in Box, never used

230v version
Cheapest I've found it advertised in the UK is £339 and they don't have any!.

£250 collected or carriage at cost.

Never seen a WET one, do you just use water ?
Guess i would need a transformer with this as well for 240v household use.

You would not need a transformer, I doubt the motor in this is sensitive to the difference between 230v and 240v and will have been made to withstand the difference between continental Europe (220VAC) and Mainland UK (240VAC) - hence labelled as 230V.

Wet tumbling involves water a harder media like ceramic angled cylinders (my preferred) or stainless steel pins plus some detergent.

Cleans very well but unfortunately leaves the cases very bright and shiny, this can be mitigated by leaving the cases to soak in the water after tumbling giving a far more pleasant dull hue to them.

Extra steps required as opposed to dry tumbling and the steel pins are a pig to manage, I only wet tumble my black powder brass to stop fouling build up inside the case and reducing capacity.

If you want to get into wet tumbling then this is a bargain.

As above, it's the European 220-240v version so no transformer required :)

Comes with 5lb of stainless pins and a sachet of cleaner (just use washing up liquid and 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid crystals to soften the water)

Brand new, never used.

Sold elsewhere pending the usual
