Ultrasonic cleaner at Lidl

[paddythegreek]

Just spotted this in the leaflet. Available from Thursday. Might be ok or cr*p.

I thought this might have been a thread for a job at my local supermarket.

Could be perfect for me - does anyone know whether something like this would fit the majority of metals from a pinball machine?

For the money I should think it is but it might pay people to look at it in Lidl, then decide

I bought a cheap cleaner like this a few years ago and it was rubbish. I could never get it to clean anything to a decent condition and is to small for many parts.

I've just seen the ring for scale so I think you're right!

It says it will do cd's and dvd's,so probably just a fraction bigger than that I would have thought

I think the 2.49 brush will be more useful tbh hehe

Would this be any good for cleaning oxidized screws?

Ooo it cleans dentures

In a word… No. A tumbler would be better for that. This just gets dirt off stuff in all the nooks and crannies

Thought that would be the answer. Tumblers are a bit more pricey

It would be cheaper, quicker, and a better end result to just replace rusted/oxidised screws tbh

Tumbler was one of the best pinball restore tools i bought, it ran none stop for 2 months! And did a great job cleaning even little screws, I tried the ultrasonic cleaner route but did not get on well with it (or i just dint know how to use it, i think @M4carp bought it from me in the end)

Yep, I put the dirty stuff in your old ultrasonic cleaner then into the tumbler. Makes me feel good
