The mentioning of a cement mixer has piqued my interest. Do any of you remember these?

Seems like the perfect size for doing larger batches of .223 cases. They must be water tight and certainly durable enough to stand up to sakrete. Price is right as well, seems like the perfect starting point for a home built SS media tumbler. A scavenged motor, a simple base to hold the drum using old casters as the rotational parts for the drum or old 3/4" black gas pipe with bearings attatched to the ends to serve as the cradle. The biggest expense would be the media.
