Record Revirginizer

Hello all,

So in anticipation of getting my first turntable I've been buying records from different sources.I bought an expensive first pressing of an old Genesis Lp off a guy on Ebay and he recommended that I give it a good cleaning before I play it. I asked about record cleaning machines and he said he's been using "Record Revirginizer" with good results.

Anybody ever hear of this stuff?

I find the best cleaning method is with a steamer

Casey,

Th album in question is sealed NM lp. The guy recommended to clean even before first play. He said that even with the initial play the needle can push in any contaminant that may be on the album surface and make it harder to clean later.

I have no idea if this is true or not.

I ordered some of this stuff, but also a Loricraft PRC-3.

So my first tt is a restored Garrard 301 with Steve Dobbins plinth, copper platter, Reed 2P arm with CocaBolo wood and the Allinic Puritas cartdridge.

To say I'm stoked to get into vinyl would be a huge understatement.

If you get tired of paying $75.00 for product & shipping, try using $1.69 Elmers water soluble gel school glue the same way and see how close the performance is to "Record ReVirginizer." You might be surprised.
