You can check out the Keith Monks page and the Loricraft page for explanations of how the nozzle type record cleaning machines work.

Sorry for the out of focus pictures, the batteries in my camera are dying.

    Which is what Keith Monks and Loricraft originally used until they stopped making it. It is hard to find. I scored a lifetime supply.
    It is softer and allows greater vacuum without causing problems vs. the other available thread.

      My mother-in-law lived in Paisley, Scotland, that was once the thread capital of the world. I learned that is the origin of the word 'spinster'. The mills employed women to spin the thread but un-married women were preferred as they did not leave to have children.

    - I found a spool in a tacklebox - ToddM 10:31:47 04/11/24 (1)
      ... of an old-school fly-tier and rod-whipper. I thought that the Monks devices used monofilamant, but wrong end of the rod, I guess.

        No, they used Talbot. You really need something that is soft.

- Where do you set VTF? Anti-skate? - ghost of olddude55 10:11:21 04/05/24 (1)
  Only joking of course.
  Local stereo store had a string-type RCM. They let customers bring in records for cleaning and it was free as long as you didn't show up with a crate full.
  
  The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

    A stereo shop in Santa Barbara at the top of State Street had a Keith Monks but I think they charged you $1 per record to use it.

  You clearly appear to have a much higher skill level at DIY than most. Norm
