Little red gun next to turntable.


It seems like all the pictures of turntables in the systems forum have this little red gun next to the table.

I'm about to receive my turntable this week.

I better get one of those guns.

What is it??

It came with the Yanni Live at the Acropolis LP I bought. Guess they're meant to be played together.
Speaking of old school record 'cleaning' and treatment devices, what about those little brushes that have the radioactive element and are sold to photographers for cleaning lenses? I bought one back in the early seventies, i'm sure the 'active' element is long gone, but, suprisingly, the company is still in business and offers refills. The name escapes me for the moment, but for records that are already 'clean,' I liked this sucker for a quick dustup and anti-static treatment. Anybody else have one of these?
Whart, wasn't that camera brush called a Staticmaster?

I never used them, they scared me with the radioactive claim. Truth is the amount of radiation was probably no more than one of those old wrist watches that glow in the dark.
My original Zerostat was strong enough to sever DNA (you could literally feel the electrons shooting out from it).
This model used a radioactive element of some sort.

The new model dispenses with the nuclear core but doesn't zap static as well IMO.
Mine is so old it turned white. Well, actually, it started out that way. I wonder if the Smithsonian would be interested.
