Re: By way of illustration

Ultrasonic cleaners (UC) are also used in the jewelry industry; I learned to use one in my father's jewelry store. A few things. UCs are designed for cleaning, 'tho there's no reason not to use it just for rinsing. Depending on the use, there are hundreds of cleaning solutions that include flocculants (minerals or compounds that cause the stuff that comes off the surface to clump up and fall to the bottom of the tank)-- there's probably several perfectly safe for vinyl.

The idea of mounting the record on a spindle to suspend the record vertically in the solution is a good one, and any decent commercial UC
should take no longer than a 30 seconds per section. Anyway, you've inspired me to try out my father's old UC, which has cleaned everything from wedding rings to carburetor parts.
