Does anyone have any idea what this cleaner will sell for? Also has anyone tried one yet and had good results?

The more interesting thing is that in its ad for this device Ebonite is actually saying oil needs to be removed from balls. They had previously said that it was plasticizer that had to be removed, not oil.

As interesting is the temperature that they say the Wave device uses, 140 degrees F. That is the temperature I had understood was the dividing line between extracting oil and extracting the vital plasticizer. At or below 140 deg. F you get oil; 150 and above and you also get plasticizer.

For us Europeans , 140 degrees Fahrenheit = 60 degrees Celsius...
