Cleaning smaller records

You can't really clean 10" and 7" records very well on a VPI without getting the right sized tubes. They're rather overpriced IMO, and I think it'd be a pain to keep swapping them in and out.

Here is a video (rather amusing) where at 2:48 in a guy appears to be doing it just by putting a 12" record under the 7" record he wants to clean. Is this the answer?

Interesting, I had not thought about the VPI having a problem with that, but now that you mention it, I can see it being problematic.

This is not a problem with the Nitty Gritty type of cleaners, as one can just put a finger over the slot that sticks out beyond the record in order to acheive a (decent) seal.

(I always knew there was a reason I "cheaped out" and got the NG rather than the VPI. Well, that and the fact that I only spent $100 on the used NG that is still going strong 6 years later.)
