You might be better off just buying a tumbler on Ebay. At least then you'll have it if you need more tumbling in the future.

I’m considering ordering a system from jar doctor but I’m wondering if he’s still around.

How much are they and how easy are they to use?

 

[peejrey]

They’re not cheap.
The market is kinda cornered when it comes to this, unless you build your own.

I'm also in the market for a tumbler. What I've seen is rock tumblers modified, do a search on YouTube and you'll find some examples.

In the bottle world, would a tumbled bottle be considered a "restored" or "non-original" surface or does it even matter to anybody? Just curious and thought this would be the right place to ask.

It restores the bottles surface and inside by removing a micro layer of glass not noticible to the human eye. It does not disrupt embossing either to my knowledge therefore, I would not imagine it would hurt a bottle but only improve it.
