    The recent thread on ultrasonics was excellent and contained lots of
    good advice .....Thank you Brian Marshall for being the catalyst. 

    Recently I had a newish ultrasonic break down and had to send it back
    to Stuller. In the interim I borrowed an old Branson heavy duty
    model. Over a period of several decades I have used a multitude of
    ultrasonics, but the borrowed machine was awsome. It was TOO awsome.
    It turned out that it was better at removing stones from channel and
    pave settings than a prong lifter is with heads. After tearing up
    several customers' pieces of jewelry and wasting valuable time on
    resultant repairs I realized that there is merit in using a less
    powerful model....not only do you get longer useful life , you don't
    knock out stones.     Ron at Mills Gem, Los Osos, CA.
