Thanks for the info, Keith...


The Moth RCM (which I have)

Woah - the granddaddy of them all!


uses a vacuum cleaner motor but it is far noisier than a vacuum cleaner -
due to being closer to your ears than a vacuum cleaner normally is, if
nothing else.! I would certainly advise ear defenders if you were going
to do a lot or if you were going to listen to them immediately after
cleaning them!!

Good point. And I guess that with a vacuum cleaner, the carpet will
soak up a lot of the noise.



That all said, there is nothing like a nice, clean, *shiny liquorice*
record - enhances the whole experience of vinyl and is well worth the
effort/inconvenience in my book!!
But was it worth the money....? :-)


Beyond doubt! (A sine qua non in my book!!)

I guess the cost per record for me is in the order of 10p each so far. When
you can find a shop that actually *will* do them, it's usually about 1.50 ea
and a maximum of 10 at a time. (It really is mind-numbingly boring after 3
or 4 of them!) I mix my own juice (DW and Isoprop at 4:1) which works out
about 70p/lt - (from 25lt and 5 lt containers respectively) - not the 15
quid a litre that *someone* might charge!!

Anyway, I wouldn't be without mine - despite that it's fallen to bits once,
been fixed by Mr Moth (Mike Harris) himself and looks like it's going to
need fixing again!
