What kind of pollen machine is this and how old?

[BodegaBud]

Seen this old school looking pollen machine for sale. Does anyone know anything about it?

Looks like a friend of mines and his is brand new

I think the proper term to help you research is pollen 'tumbler' or sometimes pollen 'extractor'.
I've got a little one. i see the brand printed on the side of yours is "agriculturalpollenextractor'.
Googling that, I find the website it comes from - http://agriculturalpollenextractor.com/
Looks like now they only sell the newer 2.0 model though, and you have the original. I can't yet see how old that makes it

I've wanted one of those for yrs, but the pollenators were expensive. I had an old high times or skunk mag that had a nice little DIY article but I cant locate it. There use to be some on e3ay for a decent price. I throw away a lot of trim that could be useful.

It’s a 500 gram one for $295. Is that an ok price?

Best used in a deep freezer. Put the material in it, put the whole thing in the deep freezer for 12 hours, then run it.

Do you get more running this than bubble bags? I swear those things are a pain in the ass!

I think bubble bags provide better quality. You have the multiple mesh sizes and different strains end up with the goods in different bags. One strain may catch in the 76 micron and another in the 45. The dry tumbler just gets more plant material in the final IMO. Especially if you run it too long. If extracting just to press for rosin then it doesn't make a difference IMO.

That's a good price if it's good quality built, but if it's used idk. New pollinators are a lot more for a 500g, but there are different brands out now that range from 3-500 dollars, 150-500g and the quality and build look similar to the pollinators. I've been eyeing a couple on e3ay.
