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.

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?

Thanx for the endorsement. May I suggest you use it without heat in any new LPs you ever acquire before first play. This removed residual microscopic stamper release agents before you can weld them in place with a moving stylus.
Digital??? 
Because you need fingers to operate it????

Have fun.

35° C in your room? Don’t take your records out of the fridge. I couldn’t live like that.
I don’t want a link. Resellers are hoping to get $350-$400 on eBay.

It's all good pal. I was just trying to be hilarious like MC and the result was the same. Sorry bud.

Kudos on the good post. But don’t start the descendant game. My son did his astrophysics in 5.5 years @ the second biggest school in the Midwest and now he’s helping his podner get hers in brain research at Northwestern.
