had mine over 10 years I think now. still on same pads and it still cleans perfectly. Only thing that has happened was the grub screw holding the turntable loosened off a bit.simple fix

Met a chap earlier this year,he purchased one,2K I think he said,broke down after the warranty period and the maker has told him it can't be repaired.
Customer satisfaction. Way to go.

As I said they sound like a good idea in principle (especially for really dirty records), but I'm unaware of any record libraries or archives that use them. I think most use something like the Keith Monks RCM, which is not an ultrasonic cleaner.
As an aside, why are RCMs so expensive? Necessary, if not essential, but IMO expensive.
I have seen what ultrasonics can do to alloy carb bodies :eek:
Would not use one on my record collection :nono:
Best stick with traditional then. Any thoughts on the Project jobbie?
I have owned a Okki Nokki and a Moth , Im going to say somthing contriversial now ( in my opinion ) they are both
" VERY LOUD , painfully so " and do the job " sort of " NO comparison to the machine I now own that is VERY QUIET and does a excelent job , the only drawback is the price , I justified the purchase based on the size of my LP collection 2000 ish , If I clean them all once each it works out at .75p per LP plus cleaning fluid
Lots of advantages , I can go into more detail if needed ,
PS buy some ear defenders :)
£1,500 is a hell of a lot of a lot of dosh for an RCM. What make is it?

I have an ultrasonic cleaner with automatic motor bought from eBay for about 150 quid, in my opinion for its price it's decent,does a good job of giving me disks that seem quieter and less crackly. I bought mine from a supplier in Poland I think after reading quire a few positive reviews on a Facebook audio page.
