With the price of health insurance now a days if a colonoscopy wasn't charged under "preventative" procedure, a 6' camera and compressor would come in handy for someone with colon cancer in their genetics.

Ah come on now, we all know you use that stuff on yourself for recreational purposes.
I did notice the instruction booklet is from you.
Does anybody here have any experience with these style smaller portable parts washers?

I'm into about my 4th engine in the last year or two now (98 cr250) and every time I get to where the oil is drained I think "damn I need a parts washer". And I dont have space for your standard old-school style parts washer.
Also, a lot of them are water based.
But I like the old-school, ozone killing, toxic, wear rubber gloves style chemicals.
Is the water-based stuff any good?

Ive used a Cuda before, a scalding hot washer for parts and it worked great. Parts were so hot you needed tongs to remove them, but that meant they also dried very quickly.
Maybe I'm just unclear on what water-based means.
To me it sounds like something I wouldn't want to put steel parts in.
I also question what the thing would smell like after an extended length of time.
Maybe I could use a non water-based solvent in it?

An old dish washer works great.
It sounds like you got your moneys worth then. And the one above is steel.
There is a tractor supply close to me.
It probably does, but I dont have room for that either. But I got rid of the Magna yesterday and now I have some more room on my shelf, so I think it's a done deal and I'm gonna pull the trigger. Thanks for the input y'all.
I was going to say an old dish washer. If you put a sump pump (always on w/switch) in a 5 gallon bucket hooked up to the intake house, and the exit hose into another bucket, creating a filter type system to get the liquid back to the pickup bucket polished, you can use the DEP from Home Depot. Seen it at a guys shop before. Pretty slick.
I gotta make room in my garage for one of those too...
