The next step is to develop software so the ultrasonic waves can read the info in the grooves. Then you can just hook the sucker up to a phono preamp and play while you clean.
KLAUDIO Intros "Record Changer" For KD-CLN-LP200 Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine (Video Enhanced)
South Korea based KLAUDIO (as in "Claudio" not "KL Audio") demoed a new add-on "record changer" mechanism for its KD-CLN-LP200 ultrasonic cleaning machine. The new device holds five LPs and automatically inserts them into and then removed them after cleaning from the fluid vat. LEDs show you which records have been cleaned or are still waiting for cleaning.
It's a very cool addition that also includes adapters for both 10" and 7" singles so now all of your records can be ultrasonically cleaned—including 78s. The price is steep: around $5000 but for those with the cash, it's a great add-on.
The company also showed a drop-over clear cover with a front opening hatch, designed to greatly reduce noise so that records can be cleaned in the listening room. The machine should be compatible with that "other" brand cleaning machine. Price has yet to be determined.
See the mechanism in action along with short interview with designer Peter Cheon here:

Hire someone to clean your records!

My audio budget wouldn't stand up to most normal people's definition of value-for-money, but for $5,000 you could hire someone to clean an awful lot of records in your ultrasonic RCM. At $15/hour you could pay someone to clean 3,000+ records assuming 6 min/record.
