Cheap ultrasonic cleaner

[20series]

I exactly the same one and it lasted for about 5 years, perfect for the job.

Which one Alan, zanes or the Amazon metal cased one ?

Thanks for that. I have been toying with the idea of getting one (mainly for cleaning bicycle parts but also some airgun parts). Time to look at the dimensions to see if it can do the job for me!

Edit: if it is indeed the same as the Lyman the tank depth is only 80mm which may limit what it can do for my bike parts. Sounds like it will do you reloaders a turn though.
I will stick to scrubbing with an old toothbrush for now and try making my own ultrasonic cleaner (old ice-cream tub containing parts and cleaning solution left on top of a working dishwasher :-)

Yep, just stuck a tape measure in mine and the tank is indeed about 8cm deep

This is indeed the same as the Lyman "Turbosonic 2500" which retails for much more! "Turbosonic" indeed...... where on earth do they get those names from? I've nothing to compare it to but mine seems to work as long as I keep the buzzer (it doesn't seem particularly "ultrasonic" to me) going for more than five minutes.

Yes, I'm currently using some of their brass cleaner, EPB25R, in my U/S cleaner from the 'Bay.. works a treat..but it looks like its discontinued, as a search on their site can't find EPB25R, but its still available on the 'Bay...

The buzz sound is because the ultrasonic exitation is pulsed - the ultraconic bit of course you can't hear.

Ah, I see. Must be very short pulses of ultrasonic then!
