Hi Joel,

IMO the best record cleaning machines are those that utilize a thread-type vacuum design.  Unfortunately they aren’t cheap:
Keith Monks = $ 4,950.00
Pristine Vinyl = $ 2,500.00

Loricraft = $ 1,825.00
I have used a Loricraft for almost a decade without little to no complaint.  Here’s a video of me cleaning a 16” lacquer on my Loricraft:

There are some excellent reviews of all of these units on YouTube that I invite you to check out.

Personal experience and online links both very welcome. I need to clean and digitize a few hundred 78s so a machine that is at least semi-automated would be great.
