The voltage is not a problem, we have the same voltage as the States. My home electric outlet also reads 115V usually.

I called the company, the girl answered the phone is quite helpful. She told me the transducer works at 43Khz. But the important thing is, they sent the ultrasonic tank assembly job to Delta, a company specialized in ultrasonic cleaning machines. They don't do the transducer bonding stuff in house so she just does not know about it.

So I called Delta, the girl there asked me to leave my phone number and said the tech guy will call back. so far I have not received the return call yet. I'll make another call on Monday to see if I can get hold of the tech guy and have more info about that.

From what I have gathered, the chance of repairing the unit by end user is somewhat remote, if ultrasonic cleaning is not your frequent procedure of disc cleaning, I might suggest that just leave that machine alone.

I have a more fancy designed ultrasonic cleaning machine for many years, I think it may well be the first double-side vacuum suction ultrasonic cleaning machine designed specially for vinyl cleaning. It was designed and made here in Taiwan. I've doing some experiments with it to try to formulate a good regimen for disc cleaning throughout these years, but the latest methodology that I'm using is without the ultrasonic cleaning. I don't see ultrasonic cleaning got me a better cleaned disc when compared to using chemical solutions and brushes and microfiber cloth.

Many people use quietness as the first criteria for disc cleaning, well, I'd put "no sonic degradation" before that. Vigorous cleaning will undoubtedly give me a quieter disc but sometimes also leaves me with a duller-sounding one, I'm more cautious to that.

I do still have a plan to try out the higher frequency (60-80Khz) ones to see if they can be more help but so far my ultrasonic is just sit there without using.

You have been super helpful! It does sound like the transducer bonding - alaskahiatt 13:03:22 08/16/20 (5)

That's just over 4%. One would think that would be just fine. - viridian 11:57:15 08/13/20 (2)

I wasn't clear on the frequency. The frequency I am referring to - alaskahiatt 15:23:42 08/13/20 (1)

Fantastic! Thank you very much. Wish I knew the operating frequency. - alaskahiatt 09:39:32 08/13/20 (0)
