He compared 3 power cords and measured for machine noise. He also tried power conditioner.

Oh, and rollo will like this, he uses Hifituning fuse in it!

I can't even imagine how clean his records must be.

It's already to be powered up :thumb:

Man this whole project is awesome. I wish I had these DIY skills.

One other thing though. That stock outlet will not due. It requires at least a Porter Port Hubbell based outlet to get the best power to your cleaner.  :rofl:  :rofl:

This is not as hard as you might think. In the end it should cost $70 or less. Jump in with both feet and give it a try you just might surprise yourself.

Yes I did Rich with a beat up LP to see how it sucked water off.
It did just fine. I need to put velvet on the wand and make some sort of weight to hold the LP down.
Now can you help the technically challenged how do I do a video ?? I'll ask my daughter see's pretty good with that kinda stuff.

how do I do a video

As in where to store it? You can create your own channel/account on youtube, post it there and then put a link here...

Is that what you were asking?
