I got one from the machine shop I worked at... Just needed a new on/off switch.. I use a lot of dishwasher or laundry soap(Tide being my favorite) I got it for VW carbs and gun parts, but I use it for everything...

Not a money question.... A function one.... I am rebuilding the wheels on my ALM-1, and it came with a set of Stheno rims on it.. I have read lots of reviews on the net, and most complain of them having a tendency to crush under braking... I am putting most of that down to them not...
