Done this many a time, it *is* the best way to go for most

I built my own record cleaning machine, there isn't much to 
it. (DIY content!) Eventually the electrolux motor that ran 
the vacuum packed it in, and I haven't gotten around to 
replacing it yet (soooo many projects....)

You couldn't pay me to put gruv-glide on my vinyl, you 
might as well be using shoe polish. Too bad they don't 
make "Last" anymore. :-(=

Take care,
Doug
