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.

Just a heads-up, the unit at the Walmart link two posts above is currently back in stock. I figure it would be, since I just purchased something similar at a higher price a few days ago. 🙄
Fwiw, I went with the solution described in the first paragraph two posts above on bdp24’s reply. The VinylStack spinner is great, IMO. Have had good results. Tiny complaint, after about 3 hours of cleaning my US (6L size) heats up to 40C even with the heat off. Easy to rationalize that one deserves some quiet listening time after three hours of cleaning, however.
