Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on?

The subject has come up about cleaning vinyl LPs and how expensive some of the effective LP cleaners are out there. Usually out of the monetary reach of the average vinyl player who still would like to listen to clean, quiet LPs on their turntables.

I was wondering, since many of the members here may own such equipment, whether there might be a chance to connect through Audiogon some of the owners of these cleaners who may be willing to offer their use, for a price of course, with the vinyl lovers in their particular area.

At least they could recoup some of the cost and at the same time help out others of like interests, namely enjoying listening to LPs with the least amount of pops and snaps..

What do you think? Would you owners of such equipment be interested such a service?

I purchased a Nitty Gritty 1.5Fi about 3 years after getting into this hobby.
Then went to a VPI 16.5 about 6 years ago(soon to be for sale).
Just purchased the Audio Desk and it is the easiest and best record cleaner I have ever used. The records look brand new after cleaning with the machine. The records sound better even if they were cleaned prior with the VPI.

The only issue I can see about cleaning records for people is if the records get damaged in shipping. I get damaged records from web dealers they can replace them, I cannot and will not.

I now clean records for other vinyl friends from Spin a group of people who meet on Sundays to listen to music. I would have no issues with cleaning records for people in the Boston area if they were interested. There would be a cost but low. This would also be a way to meet new people into the same hobby and that's a good thing. Meeting other people in to this hobby around the Boston area seems more difficult. There are no groups other than Spin that I know of like I see in other states.

As stated earlier shipped records I would not be interested.
