Right. A good rule is that if it smells different than what you'd expect (like rubbing alcohol's perfumed smell, or soap fragrance), don't use it on vinyl. For actual input on the subject, I've found that there are usually a few local shops that deal with either vinyl or record players that will let you clean your records using their nice machines for a v. small fee. I know that The Needle Doctor in Minneapolis, MN (where I bought my current record player) is pretty high up in google and has fantastic service. So if you're around there, that's an option. Local shops that deal with vinyl may have other cleaning machines, and if they don't generally offer them to customers, say that you have a few and you'd be more than willing to pay for the service. You might convince them to offer it to customers after all. derek -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
