| Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine @lubachl, Have you ever considered making a hard copy of your book? The answer is no. Couple of reasons - the demand for a hard copy version is quite low - only a few people have asked, and a hard-copy version can get expensive especially w... | |
| Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine @lubachl, thank you for the complement. One caveat, the book is specific to say that it addresses "a" way to clean records, not "the" way. The best cleaning process is the one that is best for you. Otherwise enjoy and understand that it is by @... | |
| Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine @norfish, Thanks. I really don’t want to run a record through more than one cycle of the degritter. Some people seem to recommend two washes, one with detergent and one with just water. This would increase the cleaning time per record up to 1... | |
| Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine If using 91% IPA, recommended amount is 2.5 to 5.0% and with the DG tank = 1,400-ml, the quantity at 2.5% = (0.025/0.91) x 1,400-ml rounding down = 35-ml. For 5%, double the amount to 70-ml. For Tergitol 15-S-9 buy this Nalgene dropper bottle Am... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, Your cited book from Wiley includes Chapter 7 High Speed Air Jet Removal of Particles from Solid Surfaces so my earlier suggestion to @lewm might have more merit than I thought! Not necessarily; if you read the chapter where the... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, We probably disagree on how hard these are to dislodge when they are micron size! I am not sure what you are trying to imply, but the book is very specific regarding the difficulty in removing particles that increases exponentia... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, I've got another million dollar question. Does the mere act of playing a record create new electrostatic charges? The triboelectric effect creates electrostatic charges when dissimilar insulators are rubbed together. Diamond a... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, I read your referenced article, but all it said was: There are significant temperature effects on these properties, and cavitation itself will be dramatically affected with increasing temperature. There are no context or data as... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand May I just add that, according to the paper I referenced earlier, the size of the bubbles produced is also affected by temperature I was unable to find your linked paper, but it's common knowledge that higher temperature will im... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement To provide info regarding some of this discussion: Here is a very basic handout on the science of soap - ScienceofSoap.pdf. CMC is the surfactant concentration when the surface tension of the water decreases no further and the surfactant begins ... | |
| Some thoughts on record cleaning machines and alternatives @retiredaudioguy, I have wondered about using a few drops of dishwasher detergent in the distilled water rather that the photographic wetting solution- has anyone tried that Do not use machine dishwasher detergent. Its non-foaming but it use... | |
| AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts? The pre-eminent work on this subject was done 67 years ago - Preservation and Storage of Sound Recordings (Lemcoe, Picket, 1959). They analyzed 10deg off vertical (80deg) based on storage at 80F without being moved for 20-yrs with little effect ... | |
| Stylus cleaners @tomic601, Sorry just saw your post from about 10-days ago. Stylus cleaning is one of those areas I leave to everyone's own decision. There are many as addressed in this thread. However, if the record is well cleaned, the stylus should not req... | |
| Humminguru Nova FWIW: most nonionic surfactants used in record cleaners have two purposes: Wetting: Reduce the surface tension of water thereby allow the water to easily spread-out across the surface which is commonly called wetting. This wetting ability im... |
