[78-L] Best way to clean 78s (Caution: humor ahead)

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I know this has been addressed here ad infinitum but I prefer using a 
belt sander
and an industrial pressure washer.
Step 1: Glue the 78s to a piece of 3/4in plywood - you can get easily 
get 32 10" records on one 4x8 sheet of plywood;
Step 2: Run the belt sander over the surfaces lightly, just until the 
labels disappear;
Step 3: Then hit 'em with the pressure hose to get out any grit left 
from the 2nd step.
Et Voiler! Everything's nice and clean!
The bright highs of the tuba and the rich lows of the piccolo will be 
instantly apparent. And you won't need a nasty old record player to note 
this. They'll all be lying on the ground ready to be swooshed away and 
down the naturally reverberant storm drain.
Now hand me your violin, Maestro.
Ah, high fidelity.
