    I have a Lyman vibe unit, and one of the ones made for jewelry, a
    Raytech. 

    One of the first things I noticed is the Raytech is quieter. My
    first Lyman lasted about 30 years I used it for reloading, the
    Raytech I have only had about 8. I still use a Lyman, a Midway and
    the Raytech. 

    I tried wet work with the Lyman and it leaked. I placed and 'O' ring
    over the shaft and under the retainer nut, it worked, it doesn't
    leak, but I can hear it on the 3rd floor when it is running. I don't
    hear the Raytech and it didn't leak from the start. I use both the
    Lyman and the Midway unit for dry media now. 

    You could probably tweak the Lyman to make it a flow through with
    little work. I would try a Midway unit though, it has a clear solid
    lid, rather than the strainer lid that comes on the Lyman.
