I'd caution against putting the ball bearings of high reving engines in the Ultrasonic cleaner. It really does shorten their life. I know this from personal experience.

The components for an effective Ultrasonic cleaner aren't too difficult to find and the circuitry is straight forward.

The Australian Electronics magazine "Silicon Chip" ran a construction article for a large unit a year or so ago.

In one of the Model Engine World magazines by John Goodall I received the same comment
from a reader and one or two issues later an ex engineer from, I believe it was, Rolls Royce
aircraft division, wrote that they used to put new bearings into the ultrason first before using them.
What is the real truth on this matter ?
