I have often wondered if you put the above pistols mentioned in a center fire vibrating cartridge cleaner with ATF/Acetone or some other concoction, would the vibrations free up things quicker.

Would the vibrations let the solution into areas it would normally might not penetrate?
I would be concerned putting a volatile mixture such as that giving off fumes, atop an electric motor capable of producing sparks. Could lead to some nasty fireworks.
 
That sounds like what I just got, including a custom made holster and belt for it. There is also some engraving on the brass frame and the barrel. The scene on the cylinder sounds the same. Marking on the frame indicates it was made in 1977. It appears to be a .31 caliber but it is not marked anywhere on the gun.
 
If the penetrants don't work, try EVAPORUST. You can find it lots of places. Put your gun in a plastic tub and cover with Evaporust for a couple days. It eats the rust without harming the metal. It's not an acid like vinegar, so none of the drawbacks of that. Take it out, rinse with hot water, and oil immediately to prevent the part rusting again. And save the solution, it's reusable. Check it out on YouTube, it's fantastic for cleaning metal. My son did 2 of my Dad's wood planes, they came out like new, and never hurt the paint.

A strong, flammable solvent in a plastic tub over an electric motor. What could go wrong ?

There vibratory cleaners built for liquids and there have been electrical motors designed made and used with volital substances for many years, out of three or for I have is one such, a bit pricey though.

Yes, fuel pumps are typically cooled by the fuel they pump . . . such as in your car.
