VPI Record Cleaner


I have a chance to purchase an older VIP H.W. 16-5 record cleaner. It looks clean on the outside, and seems to work
well. My problem is the guy wants 250 dollars and will not
deal at all, he's getting out of Analog and swears it's worth every dime.
I do know that this machine does NOT have a catch basin - there no way to pull out anything from anyplace on this machine. How old is this thing anyway?

Thanks..

Klhender, just be sure to use pure isopropyl alcohol (typically shown as 91% - the balance being water) and NOT "rubbing" alcohol. I've used a formula very similar to the one Chazzbo just gave you for 12+ years now with my VPI cleaner on hundreds of records with no indicaton of any problems. The 91% isopropyl alcohol is readily available in many drug stores. Enjoy your new record cleaner!
