Vintage Watchmaker/Jeweler Parts Cleaner

Vintage Watchmaker/Jeweler Parts Cleaner

I found this and could not pass it up. It predates the ultra sonic for cleaning jewelry and watch parts.

The Master model  L & R Precision Cleaning Machine manufactured by L&R Mfg. Arlington, N.J. Their technology sure has changed since they began business 80 years ago.

This machine is so cool. It operates by lowering the motorized basket into one of 3 glass tanks, then lower it over the dryer (where it is pictured). It works and looks really cool. Just had to share this. Look for it soon on my website & online store www.sundayhistorical.com
