I wonder if the typical ultrasonic cleaner rigs you can get on the 
consumer market would do the job?  Or do they have some special 
heavy-duty-industrial-waste-capable, 
nuculear-powered-atomic-blast-resistant units?

I've wanted to get a reasonably capable ultrasonic cleaner for home use, 
perhaps off eBay.  I have more than just carburetor-cleaning in mind, too.
