Vinyl Care

Had the original Record Doctor years ago and kept it for 20 years and sold it with all the Accessories for it. If you don't mind the noise and spinning manually, and once you become comfortable using it, it's a value performer.

Thanks,I'll give it a look.

I ended up buying a Hunninguru ultrasonic cleaner (400-500).  If cleanes and drys a record in 5-7 minutes depending on how dirty it is.  I can take a record cleaned by hand and play it and it still has noise.  Run it through the ultrasonic and it plays like new.  I am very pleased.  It is slower than the VPI 16 if you’re cleaning lots of records but I just clean the next record in the cue and all is good.

From what I understand from so called experts is for ultimate clean you need ultrasonic and the VPI

Perhaps I should weigh in again.  It is HumminGuru.  I have one of their 2nd generation Nova machines and I use it in conjunction with my new VPI MW-1 Cyclone.  The VPI does the heavy cleaning and the HG does the final touches.  This is way beyond the scope of what twangy57 needs.  He has a bunch of old records that might have beer, coke, peanut butter and jelly, cobwebs, dust and grit, and what not on them.  He needs scrub-a-dub, not a nuanced for precious new audiophile records approach.  Finally, for those who really want to really learn all there is to know at the current time about cleaning vinyl records, google Neil Antin and get his book on cleaning vinyl records, now in the 3rd edition.  It is free.  It has all the information, based on science, not the opinion of some nut case wallowing in delusions caused by sniffing the fumes of his misbegotten alchemy.

It's not as bad as it sounds. But once you start listening to clean records, you will never be able to enjoy a dirty one!
