How big of parts? Ebay has a pile of them in different sizes. If its for handgun parts "The Source"(radio shack) has one for jewelry for around $50. Try the small one and see if it works as you would like it before spending on something larger.

I bought the Radio Shack one, reg. $49 for $29 on sale.
I was fully expecting it to be junk but it's actually been useful.
It's small - my glasses will barely go in. A stripped enfield bolt fits with the handle sticking out. .22 bolts are no problem.
It does a pretty good job of cleaning. It auto shuts off after 3 minutes. Usually have to put it through 2 or 3 cycles.
If you throw a strip of aluminum foil in it, it punches holes through the foil and puts dents in the foil - I read that was a way to test the cleaning effectiveness.
Stuff comes out clean.

I got my ultrasonic cleaner off of ebay. I use it for cleaning my brass and my firearms. If you get some Tupperware it makes it easer then having to clean your machine after every different chemical you use. But do not for get to put water around the Tupperware. I use this method for cleaning my brass http://www .6mmbr.com/ultrasonic.html There are some chemicals that you can that are made for firearms (won’t hurt your sights) but I have not bean able to find it in Canada.Hope this helps you
