What thickness does your Ikea cutting board have? Sorry if I ask you all these things but I'd like to create what you did .... Max Hi Max Yes that is the correct motor. I also remove the plate shown in my picture as it is not needed. The threaded rod is 6mm in diameter. I put two nuts together so that they lock. I also added some shrink wrap to the section covered by the spacers to give some protection to the record center hole. IKEA cutting boards are 8mm thick. If you can find other cutting boards thicker that are a good price that is ok. The thickness just gives something to screw in to when fixing them together.

maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 @EV Cali Wow .... the cutting board available at Ikea Italia is smaller, so at a good price I didn't find anything, now I think what is better to do, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 @EV Cali I would have found this, in your opinion, since you've already produced, how many should I buy? 2 or 3? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The four cost about $12. wow if I have to buy 4 I will spend about 45 euros, it's a lot compared to you! but now I have a doubt, looking at the site ikea tells me how it measures 34 x 24 but I don't know if it refers to the total size with the holey part or the useful full part, unfortunately the ikea shop is 100 km from where I live, so I should buy with my eyes closed, I would ask you if you could measure me on your cutting board again, the full part, not including the hole with the hole. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ikea replied by telling me that under the hole in the handle I would have 30 cm of full cutting board ... Do you think it is identical to the size you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) @EV Cali Wow but now I'm looking at the image you posted of your cutting board still to be canniballized, but the total length is 34 cm !! Can you confirm ?? I was confused with the measurement scale on the meter! , the total width is 24 cm? Edited May 10, 2019 by maxpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV Cali Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi Max I use the whole board, including the hole. that is why the strip at the left end is thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Do you confirm the breadboard width of 24 cm? What size are the screws you used? So I don't risk using things that don't work ... Wow, I'll have to pay you the project advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpina Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Okay for the size, wow you were very good at screwing right 6 mm diameter screws into a 8 mm thickness, I hope I can too. I think you did a 3 or 4 mm pre-hole first, right? .. as an engine I found this, do you think it could be okay Very very thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screw thickness is Number 6 gauge, not 6mm, It is less that 2m. Edited May 11, 2019 by EV Cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV Cali Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Noticed recently that the ripples on top of the water, in the Ultrasonic bath, were not quite the same and cleaning was a bit off. I assumed one or two of the three transducers must of failed. Not too bad considering I have probably cleaned 20 to 30 records a week for the last three years. Opened up the bottom of the unit to see if replacing the transducers was an option or there was an easily visible fault. Removing the bottom panel revealed that the transducers were wired in series and one had come un soldered, perhaps through a dry joint and vibrations. Re soldered the offending joint and it is now as good as new. Second picture is before soldering, wire just striped back and twisted round tab.

EV Cali Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 It is four years since I made my URCM and I had a feeling that perhaps one transducer had failed. Looking online 10lt baths now appear to be cheaper than 6lt, so I thought I would go in that direction. With an offer I got my 10lt bath for $144 including post. Not bad when the 6lt bath cost me $186 four years back. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New10L-Liter-Ultrasonic-Cleaners-Cleaning-Equipment-Industry-Heated-Heater-Timer/113382730381?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3D4c10125d14014f72ab08c6ac7299e20f%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D192801202538%26itm%3D113382730381%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWithAblationExplorer%26brand%3DVEVOR&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109 Advantages of a 10lt bath are not such a tight fit for the records more powerful heater an extra transducer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV Cali Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 My spacers are again made of IKEA cutting boards with the darker ring coming from some other board I had laying around. They are cut with a 110mm hole saw. Rubber O ring is glued on so that the water level can go right up to the spacers and achieve maximum cleaning area ,with out getting the labels wet. I tried a number of different glues and the only one that worked was Bunnings generic Super glue, all others just let go, this one gives a strong bond and if you try to separate the some rubber stays stuck to the board. https://www.bunnings.com.au/utility-3g-super-glue-6-pack_p1210621?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvbiBBhD-ARIsAGM48bxYtMuF8y2o9fKUrGTbEq1ZkJiT9G9PhoHsQx5PGhNkrGDxZS2Z0YgaAoylEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Plus is is about the cheapest Supper glue you can buy. Tried others three times the price and they did not work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
