thanks @whart !
I am not very handy which is why I thought a vacuum cleaner may do a better job than I would. The less I touch something the better.
Recorded Cleaning Machnies
I'm going to buy a ultra sonic record cleaning machine. I am looking seriously at the Degritter MK2 but I just found the Isonic CS6.1-Pro Record Cleaning System, which has the advantage of cleaning 10 records at a time. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Comments? I have a lot of records (like most folks reading this I suppose) so cleaning 10 records at a time is a big deal. There is a price difference, but frankly, that is not too big a deal given what I am buying here.

I am thinking of buying an ultrasonic. Can anyone tell me an approximate number, percentage of records that need "contact washing" vs ultrasonic washing? And would I be able to tell by looking at the record if ultrasonic will suffice? I was first under the impression that a regular clearer/vacuum machine would do a good enough job for MOST of my records but now it may be the other way, I'd be better off with an ultrasonic? |
Thank you! I should have added: I mostly buy very old, very used records. I wont use two machines, two processes. Not because I don’t believe in it, I just know I would not have the energy, I would a put a record after I bought it in the machine and then I would have little reason to do it again as I do my best to keep them away from dirt. I also don’t have the budget and space for two items (barely for one). I want to buy the one that does most of the job. Sounds like the vacuum based would be it. The ultrasonic does the final, smaller portion. Maybe I am very wrong in understanding it. So Pro-ject or HummingGuru?

thanks so much @antinn ! I am checking it out. I am also interested in used, may work just as well. |
