Record Cleaning Machines


My LP collection is growing. As I invest more and more, I realize the need for a proper record cleaner. Once again I ask the council for suggestions. My budget is flexible, but let’s say $1000 max. 
Thanks 🙏

If you don’t mind rotating the records yourself, you can get a Spin Clean record cleaner for $80 that comes with 4 ozs of cleaning fluid (good for about 5 tanks) and two drying cloths.  You can make more cleaning fluid with 2/3 distilled water, 1/3 90+% isopropyl alcohol and two drops of dishwashing liquid per 4 ozs.  Then just rotate the record in one direction and then the other.  The instructions say rotate 3-4 times each direction, but I found it necessary to rotate more, depending upon the condition of the record.  I rotate anywhere from 20-50 times each direction, and then dry the record off and see how it plays.  Repeat as needed.  Works for me.
