I have a small collection - I use the Kirmus for cleaning. Just water.
Only suggestion I have is that after doing some research I purchased a Nagaoka NMP3.0mil stylus to use on my Nagaoka cartridge becuase most modern 78 styli off the shelf are 2.5mil which is a bit too small for the early 78's. The larger stylus can help to reduce noise.
I dont play them much but have some interesting stuff like Rachmaninov conducting Rachmaninov, early jazz etc. For a couple of hundred dollars to explore these records I thought it was worthwhile.
