There was something like this at the Bristol show and it appeared to clean 3 lp's at ounce - wasn't working just on static display.
Be aware that ultrasonic machines are abrasive in action and so it would be wise to only buy a unit designed for gentle vinyl work !

Is that the machine I got a price for in another RCM thread ? It is undergoing trials before going to market ?
If so, you could buy two Loricrafts for the price..:rolleyes:
the way they talked it was supposed to be a lower priced model. dont see a good reason for a machine to be any more than a grand or so. moths are great value as they go for ever. i dont mind wearing ear plugs
The guy had an open budget so felt it fair to put up a reasonable priced machine that looks to fit the criteria in the orgininal request, according to the industry expert Michael Fremer that cavitation based machines are the best method for cleaning vinyl records and I don’t think IMO that these can be dismissed when considering a future RCM
A friend of mine who lives down south uses the Audiodesk ultrasonic machine for cleaning Records, also has the VPI machine, he’s had it since it came out 5 years ago and to date has reported no issues with any abrasive action damaging the records, he also claimed that the VPI now makes a nice dust collector in the corner of the room
Not quite sure how these work, but I think the record revolves in a tank of fluid, which, presumably, is ditched after a certain number. If so, that doesn't sound too good to me.
Do they vacuum dry (or even blow-dry) the record so that it's ready for the inner? Can't see how, with part of the record immersed. Whereas I'm sure the ultrasonic method is superlative, it seems pointless if you're going to lose the benefits of a common or garden RCM.
