    Zerodust.  Those are the best.  You can knock off for 30 or the original for 40.

    Other than that,  just one of the little brushes you dip in liquid.  I don't think they're as effective though.  I always had little particles I couldn't get off.

    If that's in budget then that's great.  The motor is just a convenience thing.  The vacuum is more critical.

    Really??? Show me!  I'll sell the okki.  

    My solution is from okki.  It makes like 3 gallons for 30 bucks which'll last forever.  I seem to remember the mofi was not very concentrated,  so it seemed over priced.

    Yes indeed!  I would suggest buying direct from spin clean ($77.99).  They've taken really good care of me.  After at least a few thousand LP's cleaned, I had rollers that were hanging up a bit sometimes.  The rep told me to send my whole kit in (minus the drying clothes and washer fluid) and he sent me a replacement kit, no charge.  I may have just been lucky or said the right words, but they are a great company and I'm very happy with their product.

    Yeah, Zerodust- everything I've heard sounds great.  I have a Record Research Lab LP#9 kit which works well but when it runs out I'm definitely giving Zerodust a try.

    theres an okki dealer near me. will see if they have the go model  and what their review would be. less than half the cost if the pricing is similar to uk or Eu pricing.

    so this one connects to a shop vac

    Vinyl Vac 33 - Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit - Record Vacuum Wand for Deep Cleaning (Attaches to Your Vacuum Hose) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014X2SXY0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vCgoEbV24TK2T

    heres the dyson attachment.

    LANMU Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit,Record Vacuum Wand for Dyson V11 V10 V8 V7 Vacuum Cleaner,with Flexible Extension Hose,Vinyl Record Deep Cleaning Solution https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X257FHF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5FgoEbX6AX3PP
     was a liitle off on the price or I saw the listing from another distributor or more likely I just plain fucked up from searching so many different products.

    might be more inclined to the dyson thing myself. I know how well the dyson sucks up shit.

    edit: shows stick model Dysons in the description. Have a question in for the Ball type which is what we have.

    Yeah I have an Animal,  so not sure that works. I worked definitely build you own lazy Susan platter if you go this route.  I wouldn't do it on my TT. That seems stupid.

    so am trying to justify the dyson thing.  My question was answered. no go according to that guy.

    so if I buy a stick it has other uses beyond record cleaning obviously. looking 250 or so all in then. the attachment is designed for use ON the TT.
