I am sure Harry will shortly come out with a unit that includes a steam component. For now, skip the VPI machine and get a $25 steam unit at Walmart. The YouTube video mentioned clearly shows how it is done. I've used steam for a long time and find it is an excellent solution. You do want to find the label cover device that is available on e-Bay from time to time, it prevents the label from being steamed off and is a handy way to actual hold the record without touching the groves. Enjoy the the music.
How do you steam clean vinyl LP's?
I've been thinking about purchasing a VPI 16.5 to clean my LP's, but I have read things here on A'gon about steam cleaning your LP's.
Steam makes sence to me, but how can you be sure it's not too hot, to where it might damage the vinyl?
Is there a machine that uses steam, and how does it work? Is there scrubbing, or any special solutions you use to combine with the steam? What dries the steam from the vinyl?
In advance, thanks!
