Took a motor from a shop vacuum, an old turntable, and a nightstand. Took the arm assembly off of the turntable, screwed the turntable to the top of the nightstand, mounted the motor underneath, and have the hose coming through where the arm assembly used to be. Sold my Nitty Gritty.
Best cheap record cleaning system?
I challenge all goners (I'm so proud of myself) I am using a spin wash (59.00) which actually bathes your records and runs them through brushes and then an audio advisor nitty gritty special (299.00) You have to spin it but it sucks all the moisture off the record. I am new to vinyl and am buying some of the nastiest used records you can imagine. They have all come out great after the treatment (except scratches of course). All the schmutz falls to the bottom and is isolated. I tested 750 dollar units locally and nothing comes close to actually immersing your records in this stuff and vacuuming it off. Spritsing something on doesn't work. Independently, neither really worked right. That's 359.00 total. Any other ideas?
