Cleaning with minimum fuss and cost ?

An archive search turned up 92 posts on the subject of record cleaning that ought to keep you busy for awhile.

Yes Bob, the ressource is in there and thanks for pointing it out, but as you said,.. this ought to keep me busy for a while witch is, am affraid, what I would like to avoid, if I can.
Time is not on my side nowdays and since a new cartrige is on its way my aim was not to learn about all the options there is out there but to invite anyone that feel well served with a low fuss-low cost solution to the problem of cleaning to write something about it.
I would like to know specially about basic but well design machine that would be costing around half or even less of what a VPI 16.5 cost.

KABusa.com sells the least costly, non-DIY vacuum RCM out there AFAIK. It's basically a Nitty Gritty without a built in vacuum, you hook up any home vacuum cleaner to it. Other than DIY it doesn't get any cheaper than that (assuming your home already has a vacuum cleaner of course!)

I haven't used or even seen one, so this is not a recommendation other than to take a look.

Here's a URL that will take you to a website page that describes how to build your own RCM:

These homemade RCMs will, IMHO, easily best any but the Loricraft and Monks machines, which sell for about $1,000 and up. I plan on building some RCMs in the near future (price about $145), but unforunately don't have any ready yet. Feel free to e-mail if you have any questions.

Best regards,
