Sitting listening to Chris Rea's album 'Dancing with Strangers' an almighty pop!!! came from the speakers. Investigation revealed a 'large', large by dust standards, sticky blob on the record, took some removing too. The consequences could have been serious, damaging the record and/or removing the tip!
Most of my records are 70's, 80's purchased, altough I came across a Sid Laurence album the other day that had a sticker on it for 49/11d, pre 1969, I actualy remember buying it, £2.50 was a lot of money then, my first new record purchase after my wedding in 1968. Records amd radio for 5 years befor we got a TV . . . *acute*
Back to the point, that pop could have been expensive, my old records need a deep cleen? Around £2.50 a go, what would a record cleaning machine cost . . . £500, DIY version save a few quid, I do have the makings of a home made jobbie in the shed, an abandoned project when it became obvious finished size would be impractical.
Ebay came up with a German offering; 'Satish Nokki RCM Mk2 Record cleaning machine', looks very much like a ;Moth type' but at £357 iclusive bundle with shipping. Any one come across this German machine, or know anything about it . . . or have any other sugestions?
The idea, clean 150 of my records and I'm in the black. Anything else is a bonus, might even find a group who would be regulars for a few cleans?
