Yes please, I'd like to see how you've made the motor etc (trying quite hard to avoid saying "show me how the vibrator works").
I've seen commercial ones before, but can't really justify the expense.

I'm having mixed results with the electrolytic method at the moment, I seem to be getting a lot of trouble getting any decent current flow so it takes days to clean anything. That's no big deal in itself, but I've had better results before so it's all the more frustrating.
A bag of washing soda (same make as I got from Tesco, I think) is 65p in Aldi, I stocked up when they had too much and were selling at 75% off.

I have had good results with Deox C and Deox gel, but it is pricey, whereas thus method is nearly free. I did try with just citric acid but wasn't impressed.

I've used Deox C and citric acid, I think they're the same thing but the Deox is packaged and costs more. The effects were the same for both products.

i,ve done it a lot this way with a similar set up.
I did a whole rear arm assembly of a fiat , and even the solid rusted nuts came loose afterwards.
Does not damage bushings what so ever. My set up was with peeces of building iron , and it ate them like 30cm in a session.
I used chickenwire to clean a lot of small parts in once, but it could take as long as a week for some bad parts. It cleans even the pores with rust. Afterwards i use RX 5 , RX 7 and them RX10. did some suspentionparts as far as 15 years ago and is still rustfree in this combination.

A cheap orbital sander will work for a vibrating cleaner.  |

Had a go at this today. Very good results so far.  That's how it started. Ended up looking like pumpkin soup a couple of hours later.  Needs a bit more time in there but doing a brilliant job   |

I've experimented with electrolytic rust removal and had good results too.
What I'm not sure about is if hydrogen embrittlement is a problem. It's mentioned a lot with zinc plating. Hydrogen given off at the cathode is taken into the metal, potentially causing it to fracture. I've never seen it mentioned with electrolytic rust removal but I'm assuming it does happen.
Anybody know for sure?
