As part of the preparations for an event i am doing i had some records cleaned on the pro machine at Sworfish Records in Birmingham. I can't recommend it highly enough.
First time i have had any records cleaned in this way. It won't be the last.

Re: Record cleaning
what did they charge?
there's a local hifi shop that offers ultra-sonic and VPI cleaning, i do it once in a while for a valuable record.

Re: Record cleaning
I just did this for a Beatles White Album Mobile Fidelity LP and it made a HUGE difference. No way I could sell this as N.Mint which is how it looked visually. There was so much crap in the grooves. The VPI machine sucked it right out. There is a local Hi Fi place that did it for free. Which was very nice. Now this LP plays like it looks. N.Mint. Very pleased.

I think they charge £1 a disc or side.
They did mine for free in exchange for some social media publicity in connection with the event.
Which was very nice of them.

That's fair, I think.

Do you happen to recall the name or manufacturer of the ultrasonic cleaner?
