As an alternative to Ilford Ilfotol you could get a 10ml bottle of Triton x 100 from the bay for about £8.
Mix it with 80ml distilled water and 10ml of isopropyl and use that instead.
Also I have started using deionised water from halfords or tesco with no discernable difference in sound quality.

Thanks Nick, have just picked up 2.5l of deionised water from Tesco , which is a start.

For obvious reasons Isopropyl Alcohol is not that easy to find at decent price just now.

price for a litre these days i think is probably 4 times what it was but its not exorbitant

I've been using 5 parts (or is that 4 parts? I've never been one for details) DeIonised Water to 1 part Alcohol, with a 'splash' of infotol. Seems to work nicely on my RCM. I've also been using up a bottle of "The Right One" fluid and there's no discernible difference between my concoction and theirs.
The RCM has to be the best Hifi investment I've ever made, I think.

Thanks Grant, as you say a 4 fold increase.

At the moment I might just order, more of the Pro-Ject cleaner that was supplied with the RCM

Compare the pro-ject's cost to The Right One fluid, which you can get 1/2 a litre for £18 from MCRU. It's decent stuff and might work out a cheaper option than the pro-ject stuff. It should tide you over until alcohol becomes a sensible price again.

Thanks Keith will check that out.
