New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru

something with a soft side and a sticky side?
I had a record that wouldn't spin a few days ago and I used one finger to put pressure on the roller housing (left side facing the HumminGuru) toward the center (left-to-right) of the unit and that did the trick (though my finger didn't enjoy the experience!). That leads me to believe that anything between the roller housing and the side of the unit that's the right thickness will get the job done. A small piece of paper folded a couple of times, a small piece of a matchbook....anything that will serve the purpose of moving the roller housing out just a smidgen from the side of the unit it snaps into.
 
all helpful suggestions. I'm really intimidated by random felt tinkering for some reason.
Here's what I do. No tinkering, just something that can't damage the record that puts a little pressure toward the other roller. Not sure if it would make you more or less comfortable, but I don't see how it could cause anything negative.

I think my felt is from an arts and crafts store. No sticky side. Just something I tried that was near the machine.
 
They don’t! Which is a pain. There is a European dealer but someone, me, bought the last two bottles and they haven’t restocked since! Might be worth hitting them up seeing if a restock is coming.

i did , they got some coming !

wait , why am i telling you ?
 
@folsom_lives had issues with his, though they are taking care of it for him.

I believe they’re holding up well for everyone else. I know @Joe Mac has cleaned hundreds of LPs in his.

Yeah I’ve cleaned over 1500 and it’s holding up well. I don't think there is a seal between the bath and the blue plastic bit above it so if you overfill it, it does leak. Beyond that no issues at all here!
 
Those of you who have the 7/10in adaptors, are these cleaning as well as a regular lp? How are you dealing with 7in that have the large spindle hole?

I don't have the adapters and would gladly sell whatever 7/10 records I was stupid enough to buy. That said, my cursory understanding is that their adapters grip the record at the lead-in edges and thus would be completely agnostic about the spindle hole size. In other words, the adapters begin at the outside edges of the records and increase the effective diameter to 12" which the machine itself only accommodates.
