| stereo for the joy of it - can records be cleaned? stringreen,Thanks for the info, although unfortunately it looks like the Perfection brand of steam cleaners are no longer made, although I checked and see it’s probably a 1000 watt steamer you have, the bright red one!There are steamers on Amazon ... | |
| stereo for the joy of it - can records be cleaned? czarivey,Thanks for your comments..Good to know about the drill speed of 500rpm, as that is pretty high speed, so I’m sure it must fling all the water off quickly!
