Steam cleaning records 2

Doak : You are a significant reseller of LPS. The fact your are a reseller is testmony of the value of steam cleaning.

From what I gather it is almost a "factory" setting ; that is a "ton" of LPS in ,hopefully, a "ton" sold. I feel you are not using as clean a water supply as I would. The reason I say that is that it is a scientific fact using public water supplies always results in a break-down of the steaming unit. That NEVER occurs when water supplies recommend in the Thread(s) are added to the steamer.

I support the use of steaming LPS for resale and I'm glad you are doing such . My advice, use only traditional water boilers. Yours is a business , only water boilers will suffice the profit motive.

The are cheap and withstand abuse without imparting a significant problem to the LP. But, in the future be up front about who/what you are. You not in the same league as we comsumers. I'm sure you understand that & my meaning. I wish you sucess.

Hey Crem,

Thanks for your "straight talk" and always valuable info.

Yes, we do "deal" in vinyl, though it stems from love for the medium I assure you. ;-}

Doak, Don't make yourself a stranger to the conversation. You are gaining valuable insite to the use of steaming. Any feedback that you wish to share is appreciated. The very best in business and health.

I've been scanning this thread, and haven't read everything. Is steaming only appropriate for vinyl, or will it work with 78's also?

Wr4, I would proceed with caution. 78's are made with different materials and subject to breaking. I do not steam my 1903 talking machine cyclinders and none of my friends with RCA Victrola Credenza's steam their 78's. Our ancient recordings are cleaned using super fine brushes & Disc Doctor products.
