    Quoted from PinballFever:

    I'm considering getting the Harbor Freight Ultrasonic Cleaner for $77.99 for cleaning pinball parts. Is this the best deal for the price?

    I've seen others for $39.99 but this one seems to have more internal space than them.
    On a side note: Does the ultrasonic cleaner shine up heavily oxidized metal parts or just clean them?

    That's the one I have. It was $59.99 when I purchased it (at Harbor Freight, July of last year). It feels cheap but it works fine for cleaning. The fluid I use is Mean Green diluted with water. The heat is important. One thing I would improve, however, is the plastic basket. They should have put taller handles on it. I made tall handles out of coat hanger wire so I easily can lift the basket out without scalding myself. While this ultrasonic cleaner is good for cleaning, I still use a tumbler with walnut shells and an additive called Flitz for polishing metal parts to a nice shine.
