Paul's last name is spelled Frumkin. Agree with Scifi about how great it is. I've never owned a VPI RCM but in my experience there is nothing to drain from the process as it evaporates.
Upgrading and using the VPI 16 record cleaner
I recently acquired a VPI model 16 record cleaner. i have a few questions.
1. I know that there is an upgrade kit that makes that 16 similar to the 16.5 model. What is the difference between the 2 models?
2. If I get the upgrade kit, am i able to use the model 16 dust cover or do I need to get a new dust cover?
3. How do I remove waste fluid from my machine? There is no siphon hose or drain.
4. I did not get a manual for the 16. Is the 16.5 manual, available on-line, adequate or are there some differences that I need to know about.
5. Do I need anything besides a record cleaning brush and cleaning fluid in addition to the machine?
6. Does the VPI cleaning fluid have a cleanser that will dissolve difficult to remove oily residues from the record (fingerprints, etc.)?
Thanks.
