L&R Vari Matic Cleaning Machine
Anyone ever use one of these if you ever do you will throw rocks at everthing else..

These are a work horse and build like a tank they never wear out..These swish back and forth like the old 3 jar cleaners but also have ultarsonics and are automatic.You put your watch movement in the frist jar and set the time you want on each jar it then does the cleaning in the frist ,.the head then raises up and spins out then the table rotates too the next jar and the head lowers into it and rinses ,,same on each jar it then goes too the dryer and dries the movement it then rasies up and shuts off.. What i really like about these is put in you movement and forget about having too switch from jar too jar like you do on most cleaners it does that for you.

I just bought these 2 the other day i have already wnet throught one of them and made some minor adjustment on the micro swithches and blead the system these have been in storage for 10 or more years. Smile

Now there is a man with plenty of money doesnt even ask the price, even though these go for over 1k.

Rob, not to worry, Samie's first price will be much too low for me, that will give me the chance to bring out my fine negotiating skills Big Grin

Buy high, sell low, that's my motto. Big Grin
