[Rockhounds] rock tumbling equipment in the greater Boston-Wocester area

[Carolyn & Steve Weinberger]

Jeanne & Bob Ridolfi operate a first class business and are extremely  
knowledgeable and helpful folks.  I do not know if they have a  
physical store or just operate via the web, but a quick phone call or  
e-mail to them will answer that question quickly.

By using various manufacturer websites, you can get a good handle on  
what's available and at what price and compare the various machines.   
Jeanne or Bob can help you decide further what's the best choice for  
you.
