I really need to get a better quality ultrasonic tank. Mine is cheap junk and lacks the power to do much of anything.
That looks great.
What will you lube it with? Oil or grease?

Brent, I use a moly based oil but any good oil will be fine. Just use sparingly. If you can see it then it’s too much (IMO). It will wick into the tight places. I once saw JJ Perodeau simply smear Vaseline over the moving parts and called it good. He said in time it would wick everywhere. Whatever....

I seem to recall an earlier discussion of sonic cleaners that mentioned possible damage to leaf springs. Is there a concern?

question...
after cleaning of hardened parts, on old dirty guns, where does one stop with the cleaning process?
collectors like originality...dirt and grime are worth money...rust is not, usually...
keep it simple and keep it safe...
