Walthers Rotary Dumper
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, February 11, 2005 11:09 PM
Does anyone know where I can get a Walthers Rotary Dumper #933-3145? I've done a internet search with results that are either outdated or they are overseas. If anyone has seen one in a local hobby shop or something, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

If your intent is to actually use one of these action structures, keep in mind that some modelers have reported that it doesn't work very well. As with many of Wathers models that have operating features, it does not appear to have been engineered very well. Probably worked great on paper, but when translated to plastic it was not very functional. I seem to recall hearing that with a lot of work it can be made to more or less work, so you should keep this in mind.
