Actually that won't work. It is 3.45" in diameter so as not to interfere with the wand of the 16.5. A record label is 4" min diameter. It would not cover the label completely. Basically, what TT sells is a high-end clamp to replace the cheap plastic threaded one that comes with the 16.5. Good thought anyway.
Label protector for steam cleaning on VPI 16.5?
Has anyone come up with an effective device for protecting record labels when steam cleaning directly on a VPI 16.5? I have seen the GrooveMaster and other similar devices (dent pullers)which appear to be better suited for hand washing. I want to be able to apply steam while record is rotating on RCM platter. Device should be able to fit under thraded knob which comes with 16.5. Thank-you for your help.
