ULTRASONIC RECORD CLEANER ?

[sdiesel77]

Hi Guys,
I have few records that are cracking and was wondering if any of you had an ULTRASONIC RECORD CLEANER and if this was really a good solution?

So, how does one dry records with this contraption?

On a rack or with micro fiber clothe

Ah, that makes sense! I have a Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine about 25 years old now. Was thinking of getting a Project VCS MK2.

How have you found it for cleaning records?

Somewhat related, but this guy has excellent deals on both ultrasonic cleaning fluid and isopropanol:

He's also a vinyl fan and understands our ways :) so you won't feel like a complete gobshite when you tell him what you want it for!

Cyndale - I don't know that its any better than the nitty gritty or any of the wet vac machines but for me there are a couple of advantages. Most of what I buy is 2nd hand and some is quite dirty. So having a system that I can "soak" the vinyl in first to remove the crud is very handy indeed. Second is that you can run 7 records at a time in this, which greatly speeds up the operation. Lastly, my one at least is far quieter than the wet vac types. There are disadvantages too of course.
