Vinyl Care

I also use Last record preservative after cleaning. In fact, treated records even sound a touch better, I did compare a few,

And I use Last tape head preservative with my Nakamichi deck. This is a great stuff, but you have to apply it frequently.

Did you attend Thornwood High School,or work at  Advanced Structural Steel?

Is there a place you would recommend to buy the Last products?

Thanks

I second the recommendation of a VPI 16.5 cleaning machine.

I had one for almost 15 years and thousands of LP's.

I sold it last year for as much as I paid for it way back when.

The only reason I sold it was to upgrade to something more automated as I've  aged and my arthritis has increased. I now have a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic. Yes, it's vastly more expensive, but it works very well.

Different Bill Stevenson.  Common name.  Mine is a VPI 16.  It can be converted to a 16.5, but I never bothered.  The difference is that the latter has the ability to drain the waste fluid from the tank, whereas the 16 just relies on the waste fluid evaporating.  If the machine is used to clean records all the time, draining the tank is a good idea, but if you are only cleaning a few records a week (maybe at the rate of 1 or 2/day) evaporation is ok.  When I reach my home in NH in June it will be available.  $75 plus shipping at cost.
