Best record washer/cleaner, at an entry price

I have some old records from my dad that are in so so shape, I am nervous to use them on my new turntable and with my new cartridge. At what condition should you avoid records, if you do not mind a crackle or pop here and there. I just do not want to damage any aspect of my system.

I figure at least cleaning them will help. Do any of the basic entry level vinyl cleaning systems make a difference.

I see the new GrooveWasher coming out ( http://lnc.hr/JdpGR ), does anyone have an opinion on it? It looks really great, and I am interested in finding one.

I also have looked at the basic ones on other websites like spin clean ( http://www.spincleanrecordwasher.com )

Thanks!

Try the GEM Dandy Hydraulic Record Cleaning Apparatus, available at various outlets including direct from the manufacturer. (Their mat is great as well). It's relatively inexpensive and a number of steps above the Spin Clean. I actually sold my expensive Nitty Gritty machine because IMHO this does a lot better job of cleaning and quieting. It is more labor intensive, but, again IMHO, it is well worth the extra time.
I am not in any way associated with this manufacturer, just love and use their products.
