I know quite a few who use the Lortone 3A. I have used mine for about 10 years and it it is still in fine condition. Kellyco and others sell it for about $80. I use sand in mine and others use aquarium gravel. This is how mine turns out.

I bought a small one barrel tumbler from Harbor Freight , for about $30. after using a coupon. I've used it three times now with good results and no problems.
I even make my own medium with the sand from my yard...see pic's.

I have and like the Lortones as well. Id check those wheats carefully before i did much cleaning on them to make sure you dont have any valulable ones. With those soap and water. Tumblers on soft metals will take away some of the coins definiation. After you tumble wheats they tend to turn RED.... you can use mineral oil on those to bring back a more normal color. It does no damage to the coins.

I use a Lymans tumbler with crushed walnut media. When not tumbling clad, I tumble brass shells for my reloading hobby.
