Vinyl is Forever

Yes that’s right, vinyl is one of the greatest gifts to the preservation of the art of music. Digital is inferior and tape recordings deteriorate. Preserving these vinyl pieces of art is important for the enlightenment of future generations.  Over the past 30 plus years I have developed a cleaning method that is simple, effective and economical.

The G.E.M. Dandy Hydraulic  LP Cleaning Apparatus

Cleaners that touch the LP  can cause damage by flatting the lands, the delicate area that separates the grooves, distorting the information locked in the grooves, Dirty/crusty pickup tubes will damage the lands. The inrush of air developed by a vacuum cleaner can dry an amount of the cleaning agent before it is removed  leaving a residue behind.

My system uses  a simple device that cleans the record without  touching it. This is a form of hydraulic cleaning. The LP is mounted on a rotating mandrel,  protective label covers repel the water. The Super Solution agent is applied to the LP surface to loosen the contaminants. 
A jet of water from an orifice is applied to the groves at a angle that flushes away the debris.
