Nice yard sale score!

Picked up this nice heated ultrasonic cleaner at a yard sale Sunday. $5.00! Five Bucks!

Just checked online, It sells for $2,000!

Does it work? That might be why it's $5.00

Did it come with the Coors Light posters in the background? Because that would make it all worth while.

Excellent find! Want to sell it at 100% profit?

We have a similar one at the office, works like a charm.

Hard to tell from the pic...big enough to clean a 911 oil cooler?

You need to bring that back. You were quoted $5 for the stack of National Geographics sitting behind the cleaner. My wife said you ignored her when she was yelling at you to come back.

Right place, right time. Nice score, Mister Vinster.

Please tell us you didn't pay fifty bucks for the cardboard cutouts at the same yard sale, ha ha.

Send me your dirty, your unwashed masses.... errr... parts..

I just have to figure out what cleaner would work best. Cant use anything flammable. I'm thinking about the water based Simple Green.



Oberst, the cutout was a freebie from a bud! I get all kinds of beer/girl/racing stuff from him once in a while.

I've heard that Pine-Sol is an excellent inert parts cleaner.

I think you just want enough wetting agent/surfactant to reduce the surface tension so the cavitation can do its thing, you don't need to provide a "cleaning solution" as such. A dash (less than a teaspoon) of dish soap seems to work pretty well for me, although there may be better things... Having the solution hot makes a big difference.

I was pretty impressed; mine removed rust and baked-on fuel varnish from CIS injectors, given long enough...
