Market for Odyssey and Klaudio RCMs?

Hey, all!
I own a couple "highly-regarded" record cleaning machines in new/as-new condition.

a) I'm wondering if there is any market for an as-new Odyssey RCM MKV?

By "as-new," I mean that I am the original owner and I'm not sure I ever used it. I had a baby shortly after receiving it and, well, life got in the way.

b) Years later I purchased a Klaudio KD-CLN-LP200. It's actually still in the box, sealed.

I'm curious if anyone is out there looking for these. I'd hate to sell them, but at this point it's safe to say I don't really seem to be a "record cleaning guy."

Thanks!

Snapped a quick pic of the Odyssey MKV RCM (German-made "upgrade" of the legendary Keith Monks unit).

I use two; one for wash and one for rinse.

  Cool! Thanks for posting that link!
  
  Vacuum-based RCMs seem to be *complementary* to ultrasonics as they don't quite do the same thing. One might have an opinion on the value of one or the other, of course - especially if one is choosing to use only one method of cleaning.
  
  Back in the day, Klaudio (and one other competitor of theirs) emphasized value in their tuned processes for adjusting frequencies used during the baths. Whether the unit you linked does this or not, or whether there is truly value in that process is something I have not been able to evaluate.
  
  At the time of purchase, I was intrigued by the Klaudio's ability to wash and dry in 3 minutes (and up to 9 minutes). Although I wound up not even opening the box due to life circumstances (ugh!), a full ultrasonic cleaning in a period of time where I might reasonably clean an LP before play was very appealing!

    You're welcome.
    
    No, the HumminGuru does not allow one to adjust the ultrasonic frequency.

  I can't picture buying two, but that price is attractive.
  I've been using a DIY vacuum RCM I built for nearly 20 years now.
  
  The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

    Very much. When you look at the competition, buying two is still a good value. Unnecessary for most folks though. I bought the 7 and 10 inch adaptors; my old vacuum system couldn't clean those. Icing on the cake.
    
    The link below is a nice review and summary.

      Is that a requirement for using this machine?

        I don't drink.
        
        With that said, LOL.

He runs multiple units to clean his inventory. Maybe he'll buy it from you.

  Thank you!
  
  Do you know him or just know that he likes these units?
  
  Seems odd for me to reach out, out of the blue.

I'd love to try the KLaudio unit! PM me
