LP care help and advice needed

[Tucup]

Hi all,

I am new to the pleasures of listening to LP,s on old equipment and wish to ask for some guidance.
hope you do not mind me asking.

I have aquired a hundred or so Classical LP's ranging from 60's to 90's. The have not been treated kindly, and have dirty sleaves and dust on the LP's. What is the best way to clean and maintain them? how should I handle them?

Many thanks

If they are not badly scratched then its worth getting them cleaned. Buying rcm's is expensive generally, but if your handy you can make one. otherwise you can get a cheaper one that may need a external hoover. any way you go its not cheap tbh, but the improvements will astound you when done right.
Initially if you can ind someone local, like a hifi shop who will clean a few at a price and see if you think its worth all the bother and cost

Thank you for that. I have heard of peaple washing them, PVA glue peals and just hoovering with a fine brush.

Don't do any of that. Find a good cleaning service to start with. Try local specialist Hi-Fi and record shops.
