What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
Mine is it makes absolutely no difference. I'm thinking about returning it.
Fear not, the HG produces cavitation - Interesting All-in-One Ultrasonic Cleaner - HumminGuru | Page 38 | Steve Hoffman Music Forums - see Post #930. The HG only has 350-ml of fluid, so it does not need a lot of power and the lower kHz, the lower the power required for cavitation. With the HG, the two 40kHz transducers (~30W ea) are located one each side, very close to the record; located exactly where the big hole is in the aluminum foil. |
Depending on how many records you plan to clean, not sure about second tank for rinsing. I change my cleaning solution after about 100 records. Thats when my pmm reaches 50. I use a ppm meter to check how dirty my water is getting. I use 4 gal. distilled water, 4 oz 100% isopropyl alchol, 4 ml kodak photo flow 200. 5 min 100 degree F seems to do the trick. Then I air dry in a dust free area. |
I made the mistake of leaving about 400 records in my basement...for yrs, they were in boxes and I had to peel the lps from the covers, thought they were gonners most were covered in...yuk...great test for my set up...I took 10 bad ones and cleaned them with spin clean, then dried them with the record doctor....the reservoir in the spin clean got dirty pretty fast.....then I played them...WOW...they were ok and looked good too.....I saw a video of a guy with this combo who had like 15k records and felt it got close to the big buck cleaners. It makes sense....you wash your clothes...then dry them.....wash your records....then dry them....I have done about 80 lps...all with great results and these were in bad shape.
