I just received an ultrasonic cleaner I bought on e-Bay. 42,000 Hz. I ran my watch band through, and wow! What a bunch of crud came off. I am looking forward to trying it out on some actual phone parts in the near term. I just read the instructions cover-to-cover. Not very complex....pretty simple, actually.
Anyone have any hints to pass along as to what to do or not to do? The stainless steel tank holds about a pint, and they say to use either plain water or mix in some detergent. For the watch band, I used warm water and mixed in about a glug of Windex. That seems to have worked rather well. I also cleaned a lucite clear finger wheel and a receiver cap. Seems simple enough.

I will be sending some dials to you Bill.
Send me some #6's to clean, and a nice #2 to keep ;D
One thing you can do to test it to make sure it still works effectively is to put a piece of aluminum foil in it about every 3 months. If it is working properly, the foil will look like the surface of an orange(all pitted and rough). Try it now and you will see what I mean.
We use this to test my dental unteasonic cleaner.
Phonesrfun,
I use warm water and dawn dishwashing liquid in mine and it does a great job on carburetors off weedeaters and chainsaws. They come out nice and shiny.
I haven't had time to put a dial in yet but would think it would do the same job. My cleaner is still out in the shop , I guess I'll have to get another one for the house!!! Enjoy. stub
