    Not a good deal.

    So, my Lyman 1200 finally crapped out. Contacted them and was offered $150 off on their Gen 5. Unfortunately, that is toward their list price of $375. The Gen 5 is on sale through retailers for $239. Doesn't sound like a good trade in offer, to me.

    Though not much better the Lyman deal is better than the other retailers' price ($225 as opposed to $239). However, for that much I would by a Thumbler's Tumbler Model B, but I'm a wet tumbler.

    I stay dry when I tumble. Keeps the walnut from clumping up.

    There has to be a joke about being all wet and tumbling, but this is a family friendly board!
