I think it's only a matter of time before someone makes a combo vac/US if they aren't already prototyping they are asleep.
If they price the thing in the 300 to 500 range, I believe they would sell lots of them. If they go 4 figures, it will just be another piece of audio porn only the select few will actually own.

These guys only used distilled water and a small percentage of alcohol for the cleaning solution, so they didn't need a rinse cycle. Both the ultrasonic cleaning and follow up vacuuming were motorized and timed. It worked beautifully.

Ah yes! I had seen pictures and assumed it was someone's very advanced DIY project. I just now noticed that everything around it is in Japanese (not that that means it couldn't be DIY if it 's Japanese!)
The "set it and forget it" part is what probably would make it more complicated what with having to write code (probably an adruino project) etc. A manual solution could probably be marketed for a reasonable cost. Assuming some assembly required.
that I saw in Taipei in 2000. The unit in the link below was actually manufactured in mainland China, but the Taiwanese designer may have been involved. It simply looks like a polished version of the prototype.
Yeah well at 1600 bucks I'll probably endure the hassle of a DIY solution or keep using my spin clean and glue on select records I really want to deep clean.
controlled or computer controlled. This machine was just outside their record store, which I visited often while working in Taipei. The language barrier made it difficult for me to find out any details.
I am not sure that electronics piece next to it is related, but it does appear that one of those black cords does extend from the electronics component to the ultrasonic/vacuum unit.
This picture does not clear up the operation, but it shoes the record in the vacuum position after cleaning in the ultrasonic bath.
Well, at present such a machine is $4000, and they are selling.
Also, many people are currently spending $650 to $1000 for a VPI machine PLUS $600 or more for US apparatus so the market is there.
You can't argue taste in porn!
