My other hobby is rock tumbling and jewlery making. I recently picked up this super cheap rock tumbler (for tumbling rocks) figuring I’d swap in a new motor when the stock one died, which looks like a brushed 540. It died, so I swapped in a motor off an old voltage, a brushed 550. It wouldn’t work much at all so I tried another 550 motor. No luck, it’s getting power but acts feeble and won’t turn the rollers. So I’m asking here since my electrical skills are rudimentary at best…what am I doing wrong?
