Little red gun next to turntable.

The family radaion kit is the coolest thing I've seen all week! Krusty2k, how does it work? Does it make the those neat, yet kreepy ticking noises that the dectors in movies make?

When and where do you zap the records? Before or after playing? On or off the turntable? How far away do you hold it?
Thanks!

Bassobenotto! Excellent question. I was just about to ask the same thing!!

I have a Zerostat and a Nagaoka Kilavolt No.103. It says right on it, "Be Careful not to discharge the beam on a human body".
How's that for scary?
Does anybody know anything about this device. I've had it for about a third of a century and don't even remember how it came into my possession. It runs on a single "C" cell.

I am sure there are instructions that come with the Zerostat, but I have had mine for at least 20 years and have no idea where they might be. I also have seldom used the Zerostat as both Texas and Florida are very humid and little if any static electricity.

As I recall, however, I put the record on the turntable and held the Zerostat at the far side from the tonearm at about two inches from the record. This was when I live on Long Island.

I must say that I recent heard the benefits of the Walker Talisman magnet on my records. Static electricity or not, it greatly improved the clarity of the lps. It is a new product from Walker Audio. I also found my Zerostat and tried it once again. It did nothing.
