Vinyl cleaning - Ultrasonic vs. Walker products

I recently inherited some vinyl records and would like to know the best method to clean them. These are from the 1950's thru 70's. How do the different cleaning methods compare?

Or a spin clean and a more expensive US cleaner

If the records are really dirty, you may need both. The vacuum followed by the US cleaner. The vacuum cleaner is like washing your car. The US is like getting it detailed. In the case of really dirty records, you need to get the crud off before you can use the US effectively.
