Re: Need to clean really tarnished brass?

I have seen Beriuty's brass and its looks as good as factory. I just have not had time to get in to wet tumbling after buying a Harbor freight rock tumbler and some pins from Cabalas ( Frankford arsenal ) 5 lbs cleaned some pennys to see how it worked. Ithink any of the new wet tumblers will do the job I don't have that much brass so it suits me.

Just a note to Chas Look on Jerry Mickulek site or U-tube vid's He has a small concret mixer cleaning range brass and a

Electric range to help dry the stuff. The vid is about 5 min or less and might give you some ideas.

The place where Beruity get his shreds makes tumbler out of PVC pipe and they may have an idea for larger vol.
My 2 cents

Don't get to worrying about the lead to much unless you are very sensitive. I worked in Linotype as a younger man
and I smelter type metal in a open pot and cleaned lino machines for years walke around with a sandwich in one hand and a pig in the other
I am 78 going on 79 and have other problems but cannot get a DR to have my blood tested for lead.
I knew one guy who had lead poisin and he ran a Linotype machine for 20 more years and retired for 10 more.
