I also do exactly as cincy_bob does. This seems to work best. With all LPs, regardless if filthy, or new, dust=grime will begin to accumilate on the Arm Wand Velvet. Remove after a few LPs, brush clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse with Distilled water, shake excess water, and return to RCM.
With my 16.5 I added a cooling fan, so I can literally run the machine 24/7 without any heat build-up, but for those that don't, perhaps after a 1/2 dozen LPs, drain the recovery tank, get a glass of Kool Aid, or whatnot, take a break, and let the machine rest a few minutes before continuing.
I think all will agree, marathon cleaning sessions get sort of monotonous after so many. I can maybe do 15 at most, with the 3-step AVIS process, and then usually throw in the towel till next time. Mark
