Bench Grinder and Polisher
Cleaning Station
My four ultrasonic cleaners.Ultrasonics is a method of cleaning which uses a chemical degreaser combined with a process called cavitation.Cavitation is the implosion of millions of microscopic bubbles within the cleaning fluid creating a “scrubbing” action.These small bubbles are able to reach into very small places.For those few movements that do not require disassembly before cleaning, ultrasonics is the most effective method.
Mantle Clocks Being Tested
This is where clocks are tested after repair.Most clocks are run for a minimum of one week to assure proper operation before releasing to the customer.

Antique Parts Inventory
