Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It!
sokogearMy opinion for record cleaning machines is that they are useful if you buy a lot of used dirty records. I try to keep mine pristine and only use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust ...Your LPs aren't pristine if all you use is a carbo... 
Borrowing equipment from dealers
