Whats on your turntable tonight?

Jim, you have my attention on this.  It sounds as though you have a Degritter on backorder?  And with an extra tank?  It sounds as though you will clean with a Tergitol solution/mixture and then follow up with pure distilled water rinse via the second tank.  Am I correct?  This process has me very interested.  I have a Degritter and have been considering a second tank for that very process.

Tell me more, please.  Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea, the Xtra tank.

@puffball08 aka Daniel in Orange county has been cutting trail w Degritter process. He has evolved a three step method w spinclean step, then a Turgitol cycle in degritter followed by a water only cycle. He has also been in direct contact w Degritter on duty cycle and taking some readings of temps as machine operates in various above cycles across a 8 or so record batch. Supercool.

My plan is to do an initial Enzyme step with my wet vac Nitty Gritty then the  Next 2 steps same as Daniel. The excellent sonic test of sending 16 discs to Perfect Vinyl Forever pushed me into pulling trigger on US cleaning…. And of course a lot of +++ influence from Steve along the way..best thread on AG

@mammothguy54  I’ve been doing the 2 tank cleaning method with the Degritter since I purchased the gadget last April.  Takes twice the time but worth it in the end.
I do groups of records, like 8~16 at a time.  After the Tergitol bath, I use a bamboo dish rack to store the records upright between bathes.  After finishing the group, I switch the tank to distilled water and run the records through again for a rinse.

Regarding Tergitol, I’ve found that using more than 0.7ml of the concentrate in the Degritter tank (1.4l) leads to suds coming out of the slot-not a good thing.
