The Krazy Karcher Rekord Kleaning Kaper
Well this might strike some as a bit of sheer silliness, however in the spirit of Sir Walter Raleigh, Captain Scott, Livingstone, Cook et al I persevered anyhow
Today I was cleaning my French bifold windows with a Karcher window cleaning device for the 1st time, namely the KV2 (I know, all hifi nerds need a model number!) which was a present from the outlaws.
Anyhow as I used it to suck up the remains of the window cleaner from the surface of the glass a niggling thought kept pressing at the back of my mind, which sort of went like this
1. Hmm...., it sucks up the liquid quite well
2. Interesting...
3. The rubber lips seem quite flexible...
4. It's pretty quiet too.....
5. And it's cheap.
6. Almost like a Keith Monks* Recordcle.. OMIGHOD!!!!
7. Wonder if I can use it to clean records?
Any way , I just had to scratch this itch and this thread is the record of my findings. I have a Disco anti stat which I use but there are always marks on the vinyl after cleaning and letting them dry which is a bit annoying, so I wondered what would happen with the Karcher involved...
* Ok, ok this bit isn't really true , sorry Keith...

scratching and research in to possible materials I alighted some of the finest hardwood known to man which would form the base of the plinth. I obtained this from a little known supplier , from darkest shed corner - reluctantly I decided that I had no option but to cannibalise parts from the disco anti stat, all on the alter of hifi vinyl replay in pursuit of sound resolution.
