Description
The recommended procedure begins with the mounting of the record on the RDII spindle. Next, apply cleaning solution to the cleaning brush and/or record. I also like to prime the vacuum lips with a little solution. Hold the brush against the record's surface and rotate the spindle. Now, flip the record over, engage the vacuum motor, and rotate the LP using the spindle grip. The the microfiber vacuum lips gently caress the vinyl and suck off the dirty fluids. Repeat this procedure for the flip side.
The LP is supported on a platform the size of the spindle label so there is no contact with the record grooves. This design eliminates the possibility of contaminating one side while the other is being cleaned.
I used Audio Advisor's SuperCleaner II, an alcohol based brew that came with the unit. They claim it degreases, cleans and neutralizes static electricity. Although this solution is rather expensive, it performs as advertised. I'm not sure how the RDII and SuperCleaner II get rid of static electricity, but my cleaned LPs were static free!
Once the record is clean, place it in a new record sleeve.
I have owned this unit for 12 years and only used it twice. In original box.
