Gruve Glide

Dougdeacon, I have heard of this same type of contraption, called a UFO. No, not out at Area 51 either. I will go to E-bay immediately!

I saw the ufo too. It's butt ugly. I'll stick with the GroovMaster. I swear by Gruve-Glide.

Saw the UFO, too. Seems like it is designed to float in a sink of water such that the record doesn't come in contact with the sink.(?) It is the same principle as the Groovmaster and uses o-rings to seal. The only advantage I can see is that it might give more to hold on to while cleaning. I suggested to Mr. Groovmaster that he make both "handles" on his item longer so that it is easier to hold on to when cleaning "side B". He thanked me for the suggestion but I don't know if he ever incorporated it into his product.

I have used and not used Gruve-Glide. I used to have a real issue with static and it helped tremendously in that regard. I, too, feel that its intended effect is as a lubricant but I am not sure that I hear any sonic difference when using it - but the reduced static was very helpful, indeed.

He hasn't changed the handles, and I wish he would.

I just screwed a hard rubber faucet washer onto the threaded bolt. Makes the handle on that side stick out far enough so you can grab it securely.

Come on you guys, do I have to do ALL the thinkin' around here?! :->

P.S. No sign of the Wally yet.
