Grimace: I went the same route and had pretty good luck,but ended up trying a Steam Cleaner ( Shark Hand Held ) with a jig set up so as to be able to Steam clean both sides and use the DIY record cleaner for final drying...The Steam Cleaner is definatly ( for me anyway ) the way to go..Just can't believe how much cleaner my records are now steaming compared to just Solvent Cleaning ..I did own a VPI RCM but in my opionion the steaming method works much better for me....
DIY Record Cleaning Machine - Initial Failures
While I'm on (ahem) vacation I thought I'd take up my project of building a DIY record cleaning machine. I have ordered some parts - an old turntable, etc. - but like any good scientific research there have been some setbacks. I thought I'd post some photos of these dead-end experiments on my system page.

Lest anyone complain, no useful vinyl was damaged in these efforts for scientific discovery.
