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.

Thanks for explaining @antinn . I think I'll just go with Tergitol if its better in the long run.

Thanks Antinn.  I appreciate the information.
@rajivhifi - Agreed about the shipping cost but given how little you have to use it should last a long time.

I always marvelled at how quiet vinyl was at shows. Now it's here. Thanks to you I got one.
Dunno about the price going up they used to be $300. A few drops of Tergotol NP-9 in distilled water works miracles. I can do 9 at once set it for 9 minutes and put the finished on the rack by a small fan. Equates to less than 2 minutes per disc.
Anybody want a Nitty Gritty?

Got mine the same day I packed my system for an upcoming move. I'll report back in a few weeks.

As of this post there are more units in stock.  Predictably the price has increased.  I think it's still a good value.
