I've been trying to clean up a considerable amount of brass I have - with special emphasis on .223 so I can finally build 1-2k rounds. I've also got a kitty litter bucket of mixed brass I wanted to clean.

With the .223, I was de-priming/resizing it, running it through 3 minutes in an ultrasonic bath to clean it up and then an hour in a cob media tumbler to shine it.

I bought the Lyman Turbo Sonic 700 late last spring but hadn't removed it from the packaging until last week. It was smaller than I expected. I actually read the directions. I ran about 12 batches of .223, replacing the water/cleaner about every 3 cycles. The problem I had with that was pouring out the dirty fluid; there was no good way to do it. I then ran 3 batches of the mixed brass. When I went to start the 4th batch (after replacing the fluid) the unit just shut off and won't come back on. What I noticed at that point was lots of water beneath the unit. I had seen some under the unit during the previous 2 batches but thought it was slop from when I took the basket of brass out & shook it out. I was wrong. The seal around the top of the bin seams to have failed. I don't think I filled it past the "Max" line, but even if I did, the seal shouldn't fail like that.

The unit only cost $50ish which is cheap for ultrasonic cleaners, but that's a lot of money to me. I'm now really turned off of Lymans products & know I won't be replacing this unit with another Lyman device.

Worth a call to them to see if they'll replace it.

If they don't pm me, I have a spare hornaday collecting dust.
