The Ultrasonic Cleaner

The ultrasonic cleaner I bought at a garage sale Saturday was put to use today.  First, as a trial, I added Dawn to tap water and put SAM’s manual can opener in the path and turned it on.  Well, somewhat to my surprise it actually worked and 15 minutes later the can opener wheels and gears were clean a s a whistle.  I put a some old rusty scissors and my pocket knife in the same bath and turned it on for a timed 20 minutes.  When I checked it the cleaning was not so successful but it did work a little.  From there I moved on to some inexpensive crystal and this worked well so I took some of the chandelier crystal and tried it – a great success.  Now I have a goal of cleaning all those impossible chandelier crystal pieces I have wanted to clean for 10 years.

The 4X magnifying fluorescent light I bought at the same sale worked as well so I am happy with my $12 purchase.  I also got a 3 way RF switch for 6 meters in the same price package that I will use on my HF Rig.
