New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning

Purchased a cheap $199.00 stainless steel digital ultrasonic cleaner with a very nice record cleaning attachment off Amazon and I am having a blast.

This thing is heated, has a timer and an electric motor to rotate the records in the US tank. It is a 6L unit and it is made in China. Seems well built and it cleans records like a much more expensive machine.

I have cleaned a half dozen albums that are 40 plus years old and have only been cleaned with vacuuming machines and this thing is great. The albums I have cleaned sound darn near new and my wife thought I bought another new cartridge or phono pre-amp.

Can not recommend this type of cleaning system enough.

Rediscover those old albums.. if this thing lasts a couple of years I will be a happy dude.

Well alright then! I do believe I'm gettin' one. At $199, it's a no brainer. I still see a Degritter in my future, but until then this one will do. Thanks for the heads up @skypunk.

@joey_v This is hands free also.

Other than putting records on the motor shaft and lowering it in the vat...

Even a 6 year old that can put a round peg in round hole can do it. And clean 6 records at a time. ;)
 And with money I saved I can buy said 6 year old something cool like a motorcycle.

Yeah but it also dries well. 
Not to mention the ultrasonic motors are vertically oriented and at the appropriate frequency.

In addition the water is filtered with each record so contaminants are limited.

Or you could buy a motorcycle.
