[78-L] Best used turntable types for cleaning?

[Dave at Audio Tech Transfer]

It's not necessary to have a motor driven platter on a RCM.  Aside from the vacuum, my DIY RCM is totally manual.  I can clean records quickly and I like the degree of flexibility the manual operation affords.

Here's a link to a "sticky" on the subject of homemade RCMs at the Record Collectors Guild forums.  Take a look at the photos and description of my RCM (second posting in the thread).  At this point, I've cleaned well over 10,000 33/45/78 records with it.
