I have used the same "Watchmaster" ultrasonic (only) machine for the last 25 years and have been amazed at it's performance even to this day. I like it so well that I just had Jack Phillips rebuild my dryer. They are fantastic machines, not just the one I own. You still have to peg out the holes on old pocket watches or on something that hasn't been cleaned in forever but I think that's true with any cleaner.

I have a friend who just spent over $3,000 on one of the new L & R "Tempo" machines that has 4 jars and uses ultrasonic as well as physical action. It's awful! The first one sounded so bad that he took it back and they shipped a new one that hardly sounds any better. I've used a Tempo 400 that was so quiet you could barely hear it operating. It's so strange that my friend's 2 machines have been so poor.

I'll keep my old Watchmaster, thank you very much.
