Replacement basket for Ultrasonic Cleaner

[Hookman]

I picked up one of these US Cleaners > UltraSonic Cleaner

But the basket is a bit small for what I need.

Has anyone found a good source for baskets to use or other options? The Stainless baskets I've found are about $60!

I use one similar to yours, and found what I needed at a used appliance store.
I salvaged the silverware basket from an old dishwasher. Price was very reasonable. There are lots of different sizes and shapes of baskets, and you may have to resort to cutting a basket down to your size and re-attaching it back together with small wire ties. Worked for me. YMMV

It's likely the basket you have is the right size to put your cases in the correct spot for cleaning. No matter the total size of your tank only a small part of the middle gets much sonic action.

One thing you dont want to do is dump metal parts directly into the tank so there touching the bottom.That will damage the thingy that makes the ultrasonic waves .Thingy is a very scientific word ha .Even a mesh plastic mat on the bottom would be ok if you dont use a basket. Arnie

I also think Lyman makes some plastic mesh bags that you could fill and hang in there .Arnie
