Delicate jewelry

enough
to clean.
It's
difficult
to
reach all
the nooks
and
crannies
using
ordinary cleansers
and
cloths,
and
scrubbing with
harsh
abrasives can cause damage to
fragile
items.
The same
problems
can
be
even
worse when
trying
to
clean
tools, connectors,
and
parts.
Ultrasonic
cleaning
has
been
a
common
solution
in
com-
mercial
and
industrial
applica-
tions,
butfactory

ultrasonic
cleaners
are
beyond the
budgets
for
small companies
and
hob-
byists.
Now
you can
build your
own
ultrasonic

Within

Without

The
value
of
this
100

scope is easy
to
see.
The HP
54600
gives you
superior
viewing
of virtually
any wave-
form, even
at
low
rep rates and
slow sweep speeds.
It
looks and
feels like an analog scope, with
dedicated knobs and
a display
that responds
instantly to your
control changes.
And it
has the
digital
power
that
analog
can't
high
accuracy, auto-
give
you
matic measurements, hard copy
output
and programmability.
But
what really
stands
out
is
that
all
this performance
costs
just
$2,895
(4-
channel)
or $2,495
-
(2-
channel).*
What's more, now
through
April
30, 1993,
you
can
