GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?

This is by far the best system I've ever used, waaay better than my VPI 16.5 which I promptly sold after building a GEM clone.

Looks like the device can be DIY-ed... $150 for plumbing parts? I dont know...!! ??

I've had it over a year, absolutely fantastic cleaning system. This thing has completely revolutionized my enjoyment of listening to LPs, even old rejects that had long been given up for dead.

It is very easy to use and not really too messy in the sink. But if you prefer it is no trouble to set up outside with a garden hose.

Don't even think about buying some outrageously expensive vacuum/brush monstrosity until you have tried the GEM.

Yes, you can DIY most of it and tweak a few things here and there if so inclined. Except for the GEM cleaning fluid, that is a requirement.

But I don't have a problem paying for George's idea and invention. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable, I appreciate his contributions to making this system available.

I own and love it. dont even use my top of the line nitty gritty any more.

best cleaning ever.

Can't argue with it's results, especially on mold, absolutely no 'water' problems, and I have the hardest water available, just dry it off with the diapers. It helps to have a DEEP sink, or use it outside with the garden hose....I don't find it takes more than 4 minutes max per lp. Still use a VPI once it's cleaned with the Gemalog...and George's fluid is part of the secret for getting rid of the mold.
