I've been reading this thread with great delight. I have been cleaning my rag-tag collection with Alcohol and a sponge brush. To my dismay I have read this is not wise. I have many really dirty records, and some sweet ones. UNfortunately I do not know of good sources for record supplies such as new sleeves, cleaners, cleaning machines, cartidges, etc. I've been studying digital and it is cool but lately analog stuff has been falling into my lap. I just picked a reel-to-reel up off the curb on trash day! I must admit it sounds pretty good. I think God is looking out for me because I was just looking for one on Ebay. Or maybe I'm just schizo? But really KUDOs to anyone who can help me get those old records off the shell. I must have a few jems in there. Also, any links to sites where I can evalute my old albums is appreciated.
