Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone?

I agree it looks interesting. I haven't tried it, but there is more than one thread on the subject in the archives.

I'm using a walgreen steamer in conjunction with a diy RCM and have been happy with that. A gentleman who is a Nitty Gritty RCM user just purchased the Mapleshade and posted a review this morning on audiokarma.org in the turntables and tape forum. It's just initial observations but he's happy with it.

Please, check the post under "Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?" and you will find a good deal of information.

Smoffatt: Build your own for $30-$40 or buy the MS version for $150, both work the same. Don't fall for the MS hype posted on the Web site. MS never cleaned one more LP than they had to before putting the "kit" together. MS a master at taking ideas and research from other without acknowledgement. Go to the steaming thread, lots of FREE information and FREE ideas.

Thanks Charlie. You're the best!!!!I have gone on the other thread since i posted this and have read every single one of them. I will be steamin' soon. I live in Canada and Canadian Tire sells a Simoniz steamer with numerous attachments for $60.00. It comes on sale once in a while so i will be looking for the sale price. It is spec'd at 1050 watts. I also have a Nitty Gritty Mini Pro 2 which cleans/vacuums both sides at the same time. This would be an awesome combination. Looking forward to get steamin'.
