Clean your records. Here is how to:

Watch the video!



Get the turntable started. Use the syringe to applicate the liquid to the record an bruch the record with the goat brush. Don't be too shy. You can use a bit pressure and turn the table otherwise. Thats the real washing procedure.

After a while of having effect on the dirt the liquid is about being sucked off. Start the vacuum cleaner, in which the tube is inserted into its cone. Seal the little hole with your weak hand and the big hole with your thigh. You will get a bruise because of this, but the record - it is not about you it is about your records. (also you can use the small nozzle of your vacuum cleaner and can seal it with some duct tape.)

Adjust the Teflon nib onto the record and let it suck. Move the arm towards the center of the record. Not too fast but also not too slow. After every record side, feed a bit more thread through the tube to get new thread for every new record side.

After cleansing put the record into a fancy new sleeve ant dump the old one.

That's it.
Have fun and please rate and comment. Also I would be pleased to see yours.

Your machine looks like it works well, but what is the purpose of the thread? Do you insert the thread in all the record grooves?

I believe it is there to keep the nib off the record. The only thing touchng the vinyl is the thread.
