Record Cleaner Advice?
@pindac, Not sure you are aware, but you should be able to buy a record label protector - Amazon.co.uk: record label protector. These are the same as the Groovemaster record label protector. |
@antinn Thank you for the continued support. I have seen this Device and considered it. With the Additional Support Device I am to produce for the record, this type of Label Protector will make producing the LP retainer a little harder to design for. Materials I have at hand will need to be exchanged. As some of my HiFi Friends are Long Term Vinyl Enthusiasts, I hope to be able to clean some of their Valued LP's as the Meetings reconvene Hence the need for myself to have a Handling Device that is reassuringly secure. I am also Hoping that a Design will evolve to allow me to carry out a Spin Dry. That will be on the drawing board when the Support Device is functioning. |
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingfisher-Pressure-Bottle-Control-Plastic/dp/B07BFC6TDM/ref=sr_1_10?crid=6... A update report. My cleaning operation using the Aqueous Cleaning Manual Method, has had the use of a Naglene Bottle as suggested to carry out a Rinse Clean Stage. The Area I reside in has a supply of Hard Water to my property and this was a Water I did not want to use to Rinse Clean my Vinyl LP's. The Idea of having a Pressurised Water Flushing Stage in the Cleaning Process was a attractor, so I looked into a simple alternative method to achieve a very similar application. The 'Link' is to a Tool I have chose to add to my already acquired Cleaning Equipment. It has a adjustable nozzle that allows for a choice of the dispersal ranging from a Mist Wash > Jet Wash. The Trigger has a Lock so that the Bottle can be a Standalone Tool and leave hands free to assist with other tasks as the Water is applied to the LP Surface. When Pumped to a Point that the Plunger is resistant through bottle pressure, the Bottle will release a adequate Powered Jet Pressure to give a satisfying Rinse Clean for a Minute +. If Maximum Pressure is wanted only for a Rinse Clean Stage, then a couple of Plunger Pumps every 20-30 Seconds will maintain this. It is a very good addition to the collection of cleaning equipment, it has the delivery of water that will offer a 'controlled' forceful flush of Cleaning Solutions. The Bottle has been cleaned as per the advice for cleaning any bottle containing cleaning solutions. It is now containing DIW and is good to go. |
All, as I mentioned a month ago, the VPI HW-17 I bought online arrived with a damaged MDF frame. It's working perfectly. It's a shame, really. It had been pristine before the seller (a grand daughter who inherited it) did a poor packing job. I'm ready to sell it here on AG (once I can figure out the clumsy listing system). If I were going to use it in a garage or basement, I wouldn't be bothered by the busted frame. But I want to set it up in my kitchen, so I've already purchased another HW-17 that was delivered 2 days ago (MillerCarbon's subtle advice notwithstanding). Any further advice? |
The Walker system arrived today and I will trial it against my existing system of Nitty Gritty / Brooks Berdan two step process. I have modified both of my Nitty Gritty machines to accept a disposable aerospace grade lint free wiper. I will weave the Vinegar step in also and report findings. Off to buy three sequential MoFi pressings to level the playing field on the listen testing side of the equation. what a great thread, thanks to the real contributions of many |
