Very little discussion about Ilford Ilfotol as a surfactant, yet it's what many ultrasonic folks use. Does it also require a final rinse after cleaning, or is a record good to go once it's cleaned and dried?
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Purchased a cheap $199.00 stainless steel digital ultrasonic cleaner with a very nice record cleaning attachment off Amazon and I am having a blast.
This thing is heated, has a timer and an electric motor to rotate the records in the US tank. It is a 6L unit and it is made in China. Seems well built and it cleans records like a much more expensive machine.
I have cleaned a half dozen albums that are 40 plus years old and have only been cleaned with vacuuming machines and this thing is great. The albums I have cleaned sound darn near new and my wife thought I bought another new cartridge or phono pre-amp.
Can not recommend this type of cleaning system enough.
Rediscover those old albums.. if this thing lasts a couple of years I will be a happy dude.
