| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? another reason for sputtering is overfilling the boiling chamber. There is a measuring cup that will help with that. I also use the long spout with the downward pointing tip. also agree you should empty the unused water each time. Even ultra pure ... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice The plastic plug is not cemented in very well. When i was modifying my arm, i had to tap a new screw thread and found it came out during drilling. There were two plugs in mine. I have also considered replacing the armtube with a solid piece of gra... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice piedpiper: sorry it took me so long to get back to you, the pump is actually a rena air 400. It is made in France by Rena (aquarium pharmaceuticals) and I got it at Petsmart. It is the largest one this company makes. Unfortunately it does not have... | |

| Micro Fiber Cloth for Record Cleaning Interesting results on the evercare brush. Not my experience but i do not use a lot of force when using any brush. i also have the mofi brush and the microfiber towels and pad that i use as part of my cleaning regiment depending on the circumstanc... | |
