to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner)
Looking at a 10L tank from Amazon & a 6LP spindle from the Bay & could put together an US machine for under $250 that does 6 discs in a cycle. Cost on the machines & components has been dropping. I haven't placed the orders but I should.

" Ever notice how the relentless and over-the-top praise tends to be highly skewed towards the tiny shops led by one person? Tekton, Raven, Herron, Perfect Path Technologies (now defunct), etc... A pattern and practice of behavior.....hmmmmm.....

Looking for more detail in a speaker
