Has anyone tried using a sonic cleaner to remove rust and grime from small sewing machine parts?
My son got a sonic cleaner to clean dive regulator parts.
And sonic cleaners are available to clean jewelry, so why not sewing machine parts?

Looky what came in the mail from Billy (Lostin51) :mrgreen:
It's awesome!!!!!!
He said it ran really smooth and he was RIGHT!!! I haven't run it with thread yet but was amazed at how much pep it has!!! This sewing machine is H-E-A-V-Y---must weight about 200 lbs...lol!
Billy, I can't figure out how to put the spool pin back in or even where it goes :roll:
