Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner


I received notification yesterday that the Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner is finally making it into production. I have been watching the company for about a year, as the cleaner has moved from prototype to beta testing , and now to a limited production of the finalized (we’ll see ;-) version. The design is excellent, eliminating my reservations about the high-priced (around $4,000) ultrasonic cleaners, at a little over half their price (just over $2,000, last I read). The Degritter uses 120kHz as it’s ultrasonic frequency, and features water filtering and disc drying. It also looks cool, like a 1950’s toaster! Details available on the companys website.

 @dgarretson mind just a quick rundown on essential bits of the DIY filter....I think RACOR makes a nice 1 micron replaceable element model....I can write that off against the boat account as safety equipment!
let’s hope the unknown as yet undiscovered far exceeds the known....otherwise it is going to be a pretty boring next thousand years...

yep thirty five years ago..nobody understood how a 225# 12 varsity letter 21 year old athlete could get Juvenile diabetes....well, we know now....

peace to all those who carry a burden, visible or otherwise....
I use the Nitty Gritty enzyme cleaner for the more difficult discs, seems to help
i will add that as a pre-clean step IF I go US

what a sometimes strange, esoteric and archane hobby we have....


 @whart Thanks so much for referring the Elma.... I need more German stuff in my life :-) I can heartily recommend Brinkmann anything... ha

my manual but hyper trusty Nitty Gritty is fading....
for the record, pardon the pun my finely over engineered Tuetonic tolerance ride caught fire today....left for the Benz dealer on a flatbed. So far the UK ( 1967 MGB ) and GDR are tied 1:1

why not the $899 ish US machine....? Kirmuss..I believe...
