I got myself a rock tumbler about two years ago and used it for one round. Living in a small space, the tumbling of the rocks is loud and annoying so I let my friend take it over to his house where he left it in his freezing garage and the band that spins the motor broke. We were in the polishing stage of some very nice agates so I've been bummed about it. Hopefully I get it fixed soon as there are a lot of rocks that I want to tumble!
If you mean the belt broke, that is easily remedied for some tumblers. Mine is simply an O-ring that the local auto parts will happily toss me for free. Thankfully also my tumbler isn't any louder than a running dishwasher or washing machine. I hope you can get it fixed and running somewhere for some of your beautiful stones!

Yes it's the o-ring belt that snapped. Didn't think the auto parts store would carry one thanks for the tip!
No problem! Hope you can get it going again! Your rocks are beautiful!
