I figured if there was any chance of ruining the tank, I might as well experiment on my own!

The machine is a 1968 Almco V3 made in Albert Lea Minnesota. Originally mine had timers and auto spray, but was missing too many parts to complete. I switched it over from 3-phase to single phase using a WEG variable frequency drive. If you've never heard of such sorcery, you should investigate these little devices!

Anyway. I don't know how long this link will work, but here is a picture of an Almco  V3 and description.

http://www.vibratoryfinishing.com/v3.htm They want $3900 for this machine and then you have to buy the media. To fill with the proper amount of steel or porcelain you're looking at another $1200-$1500.  Yikes!

Sam: 

Thank you for the info. Maybe in the future I'll get one but for now you'll have my business! 

I need a decent size of parts done like rims, spindles, and my engines + a few engine accessories that I can't do.

Thanks again for the info!
