Anybody clean old styrene 45's in the 'guru? I've read elsewhere not to do so but I'm wondering if a single 2 1/2 minute wash cycle would do any harm.

I'd proudly stick Howlin' Wolf to my HG and will post before and after pics to validate your claims...

I tend to wash in batches so I just mix up a gallon and go to it :cool:

More like 13 (13.2 if we're being precise). G-Sonic calls for 10 drops to a gallon. 5 liters = 1.32 gallons.

I don't use the dry cycle either. After a wash I give a wipe with a damp microfiber and then a couple turns each side on my old Record Doctor. Another wipe with a dry micro then placed in a rack. Rack holds 10, when that's full records are sleeved/stored. Works for me :cool:

G-Sonic

It's not super loose, parts are plastic after all so they give some if I push too hard (power connector is a bit snug). It's possible I did something when replacing the PCB last year, don't remember it being an issue before that. Works fine though. If it ain't broke...

With mine the power connection (on the unit) has a little give when connecting, in other words it feels like it isn't secured tightly to the machine. Pushing the connector in too hard seems to move it some resulting in loss of connection.

Not saying it's the answer, but pull the plug back from the machine just a touch, see if that helps. If I push mine in too far it doesn't connect properly, gets no power. Pulling back just a bit works just fine.

I premix, 10 drops to a gallon, works well.

I preheat with VF in pouch for 30 minutes. Leave in pouch during cool down; if I'm around I'll open the pouch but leave record in VF until cool to the touch, otherwise I just let it be.

I still use my Record Doctor in lieu of the HG dry cycle, just as effective and can batch clean in less time. Works for me. :cool:

10 drops of G-Sonic per gal. distilled. Noticeable difference. :cool:

First thing I tried but didn't work so new PCB it was. All good now. Glad it worked for you :cool:
