With the washing powder these panel lines were grey covered in schpritzes of paint and went into the hot ultra
for an hour with one solution change and came out sparkle arkleing. Anyone with a black light check the photo

And if only to iterate a perhaps missed point, those that tool their cable ties on by pulling, and tool their cable ties
off by cutting, are the ones that cause those that come on in here wondering why they are aspirating some water
 
And just as an aside, here's Bob he's an electrician today and and 92 in human years

Thanks for the advise. :-)
 
Which ultrasonic cleaners do you recommend?
There are no shortcuts here.
Six years ago, I bought one of the $150 Chinese imports. I figured, if it died in a year, I'm still better off than with a $600 machine.
It was great! 1.5 liter basin, good results. Until it died a month after the warranty expired. So, I figured I'm still ahead and bought a second one. This one died after six months, and I decided to see if it was fixable. I found a circuit board with a burned component. The distributor sent me a new board for free. I wired that in, and it lasted nine months.
I finally coughed up $600 for a Branson 3800 with manual, not electronic controls. It's been working fine every since, except that I could have saved myself the first $300.
 
After digging through stuff, I put in my first order. When I checked my carts, I decided to go the cheap route first and not order some of the nicer tools. I'll most likely purchase those after the class. I assume I'll be able to decide after the class more precisely on what I do want, which workarounds work and so on.

Thinking about it, I might utilise my highly advanced CAD skills (...) to come up with a few .stl's for some of the tools.
Might come in handy to be able to have some backups prepared by a printer - might be absolutely useless though due to strength of material obtained by a printer...
Does someone know about the legal aspects of this?
