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.

The Vinyl Stack ULTRA Sonic Spin Kit (it's full name) has arrived. All the parts are very well made, a high quality product. And the 6L/50kHz Vevor tank is on it's way. That'll have to do until the Vibrato 135kHz tank is again available. 

Now I gotta read through all the blogs on ultrasonic cleaning, and choose my chemicals. I already know I'm going with Tergitol 15-S-9 as my surfactant, and perhaps Alconox as my cleaner.
I totally love my DeGritter - I've cleaned hundreds of albums and it works perfectly!! 
@bdp24,

You should email Louis directly to find out if he'll be making any more of the Vibrato machines. My last conversation with him....he wasn't sure.
After several months, I finally unpacked my ultrasonic cleaner. In addition to not having any instructions for the attachment there appears to be parts that are different or missing. Can some of you guys with this machine offer some advice on assembly or what is missing? Thanks.
