Something interesting to note concerning the MSDS for the RCBS solution, it's citric acid and ammonia :P.
Not time to start a second thread, but also ordered all consumables for 10ga shotshell reloading... but no press just yet.
unfy:
Wow. Midway order already arrived.
RCBS Ultrasonic Cleaner, some pvc coated gloves for acid, and all of the 10ga reloading consumables (except lead, see other post about sharpshooter buckshot mold hehehe). Looks like I get to dig in the box like a giddy kid when I get home ... and start review process heh.
bkoenig:
Midway is incredibly fast, especially considering the current demand.

I imagine it`s easier to get the `few` items left in stock, out the door anyway.

Specs seem impossible to find online, so here's what the book has to say (abridged):
If device has been in operation for 45min, give it a 10min cool off period.
Tank size: 9.8"x6.9"x3.1" / 25.0x17.4x7.8 cm
Tank Capacity: 3.2 qt / 3.0 l
Longest item that can fit inside the tank is 10.47" / 26.6 cm
1-30min full range timer
5 temp settings (104f to 140f)
Solution usage timer (if using paid for solution, can be handy), remembers time remaining even when unplugged
'industrial grade ultrasonic transducer & ic'
Moisture-proofed PCB with cooling fan.
Drain spout.
Comes with a thick drain hose, about 3 or 4 feet in length (counter top to 1 gallon jug on floor with a bit of room to spare).
Basket it comes with has lil handles for easy handling.
The lid on it isn't flip top, it comes off. I personally find this handy.
Has a degas feature (turns transducer on off in pulses for 90 sec in an attempt to get rid of air bubbles).
generic (transducer?) overheat detection and auto shut off with it insisting on a 20min cool down.
if water heater auto shut off after 90min.
power switch rocker, separate from on/off button.
150 watt ac power draw
36khz transducer
stainless steel tank
abs housing plastics
awwww no led light for watching it work (like it matters heh)
3 prong electrical plug
Ran through a bunch of brass tonight. Probably had the machine a bit overloaded, went through a few water changes and it was pretty dirty each time heh. They came out about as expected. Not advertisement level shiny, not absolutely perfectly clean... but... as expected. on par / better than the lil lyman.
Was working with 1/3rd of a gallon of 40s&w brass that was old and caked and stuff. A lot came out factory clean, a lot came out a little cakey, and a few weren't that great.
No pics, no point really. Device worked as expected with poor-man's-homemade cleaner.
the lower operating frequency does make it a bit noisier than the lyman or higher frequency devices.
drain plug is oh so handy.
drain valve aint leaking, and has proper resistance to turning.
i like the removable lid ... a hinged lid would mostly just be in the way when working with the device. particularly when tilting the unit a bit to get last bit of liquid out of drain hole in corner of tank.
i did, naturally, do what any idiot does when there's a tank with a drain valve. started pouring water in after one of my change outs and forgot to close the valve. hardy har har.
even without using the heater, when in degas mode and it kicks on/off the transducer... the lcd / led panel actually fades a bit heh.
so far, first experience leaves me happy with the unit.
