[78-L] Washing records

[H D Goldman]

well I'm just having a dandy time ....  final copy, promise.

> For over 18 years, following 10 years of development & evaluation, we have offered applicators, fluid & a suggested procedure that can safely & thoroughly clean shellac, lacquer, acetate, Diamond Disc & vinyl disc recordings. This process can be used with either manual or vacuum-assisted removal of fluids; used as directed the result is the same regardless of how the fluids are removed.  Common household soaps & detergents leave residues that simple rinsing does not thoroughly remove.  These residuals can affect playback, support the growth of mold & mildew, and trap micro-dust.

> 
> With respect to cleaning disc recordings, the cleaning solution & method of application [brush, sonication, bath, etc] determine the quality of cleaning not the method of fluid removal.  Vacuum-assisted fluid removal is often preferred for its simplicity & convenience.  While a DIY vacuum-based system can be put together for less than $100, there's is no denying the effectiveness & efficiency afforded by the truncated cone employed in the Keith-Monks/Loricraft designs vs. the vacuum wand used for most record cleaning machines.  DIY systems using wet/dry vacuums often benefit from a slight bleed or reduction in hose diameter to reduce vacuum strength.


my apology for the wasted bandwidth,
