Record Cleaner Advice?

Thank You for this reply

I am quite impressed with the Manual Cleaning Method, and will pursue this first.
I do intend on introducing the UCM I own, which is now most likely to be a Final Rinse.

I did miss the information for the 1% Solution - 10ml LS54 per Litre of Distilled Water.
A easier ratio to work with.

I am 90mg of LS54 against the ideal 75mg

@pindac,

I assume you are preparing 90 mg/300 mL = 0.03%.  There is an inconsistency in the document (that I will fix in the next ed.), while Para IX.6.a states "...for manual cleaning 0.01-0.02% would be recommended.", Para III.EU/UK.a) states:  "...to obtain about a 0.04% solution.".  So, your 0.03% is right in the middle and is fine.  In the next edition Para IX.6.a will state "...for manual cleaning 0.02-0.04% would be recommended."

Now I have the mixtures that are in keeping with the recommendations,
I will commence with Vinyl Cleaning.
I will start with Vinyl I have owned since the 1980's that has been through Teenage Treatment.
I will offer a few comments on the end product replay that has been experienced.
   
I will be producing a 0.25mg per 5000mL (5 Litre) Distilled Water 
for my UCM when extending the Cleaning to a Final Clean Stage. 

I'm seeking advice from anyone who wants to weigh in on the value of a working but cosmetically busted VPI HW-17 record cleaning.

As I previously posted, I bought one used.  It was delivered, but the packaging was inadequate.  The frame has two broken areas and is slightly racked (the twisting creates a 1" gap between the lid and the front left side).  It's a shame, because this unit was mint and barely used.

It still works fine, but I'm planning to sell it for parts/repair.  Maybe someone has a dead unit and needs a working version.  The lid seems fine, as are the switches and any other parts other than the MDF frame.  If anyone would like pics, please contact me.

Any opinions on its value?

VPI has no parts left (a reproduction left side panel would help) and actually recommended a cabinet maker to fix the frame.

Are you kidding? These things are nothing more than a couple pieces of MDF wrapped in vinyl and glued together. Twist it back, slap some silicone on it, clamp it, call it good. If its not pretty with cracks or whatever, buy a little vinyl, cover it up. Or if you want it really nice cut four pieces of cocobolo or whatever pretty hardwood you like, glue them together instead. Cabinet maker. Sheesh! DIY!
