I have purchased one of the Kramer's Ultrasonic scalers, and yes, it was expensive, but well worth the investment--to me there is no purpose in collecting all over the place, and then not really being able to appreciate the beauty of the shell.  I'm very glad I took the plunge, (and it was a very hard decision).  If you get in touch with Femorale Shells, you can get more information, as well as a 10% discount for the referral.

I am not positive, but I think COA members the Kramers sell them. I am not
sure of the price and don't have enough shells to justify the expense, but
I  think I saw them demonstrate their product at a bourse. Maybe someone
else knows  more about this.
