New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru

I’m back in business now with a near gearbox installed. Little quirks, maybe, I feel like the sound of the rotation is a little different now and on my second plug in it didn’t fire on immediately.

I’ll say, replacing the gearbox itself was super easy. However, getting the right sized tool to get the damn cover off was the biggest pain in this process.

Was there a trick to do if the wheels wouldn’t spin the record? Wheel 2 is spinning and both doesn’t look worn (would be surprised if they were).

only one wheel spins. if the record doesn't spin at all, it likely means that the record is a tiny bit small.

I’m hoping it’s that. It’s the Django Reinhardt from Sam Records I tried to clean. There hasn’t been an issue with other records so I’m wondering if Fred’s new pressing plant collab makes them a smidge smaller than normal haha

does the record have a flat edge? if so, it's definitely that. i have some from smashed plastic and they don't spin in the HG. i just permanently added the padding to one of the rollers and haven't had any issues with some records not spinning since.

also let me know how that django is...ive been really tempted by it. same with the big bill broonzy...i know that one is sold out but have a lead on them for MSRP.

It’s flat but not like Optimal pressings. But it is smooth along the edge. The next record is spinning fine so it must have just been the Django size/edge but I might add that little sticker afterwards, just in case.

Will do. I thought you had it?
 
I'm curious: Has anyone here switched from the industrial DIY ultrasonic cleaners found on eBay to the Humminguru? Do you have any field reports?

I have the Humminguru, but I am still interested in the big bin cleaners with heaters, etc.
