I completely agree with Dan_ed thay build your own is the best solution until you get to a Loricraft. I use my shop vac (which is much more powerful than the VPI) and a modified crevice tool with a slit cut in it and velvet ribbon on double stick tape as a surface on either side of the slit to use against the record. The velvet ribbon was an interesting recent discovery I will share. I use the LAST 10 packs of record brushes to distribute the record cleaner. These have a strip of what appears to be a white microfiber brush attached to the plastic. While they are not extremely expensive, I discard them as soon as they get a little dirty and use a different one for the 3 different solutions I use. In this way you can use them up quite quickly so I searched for a way to replace the fiber brush (it is easily pulled off the plastic handle). I found, at the local fabric store, that they sell rolls of "velvet ribbon" that under magnification appear to have the identical structure to the LAST brush and costs pennies an inch. I just cut and reglue to the handles.
(P.S. the shop vac also comes in handle for lots of other chores!!)
