Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Crem1: Checked out the Monster 1200 on the web site. Intriguing, but I think you could be more judicious with the cleaning fluids by applying them directly to the LP as you have always described. I am still going to try the Perfection first, hoping someone takes the plunge for the Monster and can report their results. I am out of work right now so discretionary $$ is at a premium. Anyone need a Storage/UNIX admin in the Twin Cities area? ;-)

For cleaning fluids, I will be trying the RRL Super Cleaner, L'Art du Son, and DD. I am also intrigued by the enzyme cleaners from AVIS and Walker but don't have any on hand. I have been using the RRL SC and LAdS fluid with good results but expect the noted improvements by adding steam. I'm also going to try without any fluid at all as one contributor says he feels the steam obviates the need for any cleaning fluids. I'll report back when I have been able to get the steamer and have cleaned some LPs. I have several good test cases that I can use as my free time has allowed me to do a lot of record cleaning lately so I can listen to these already cleaned records, steam, and re-listen. Can't wait!

Allvinyl: Thanks for the post. My interest in the 1200 is informational ; I know its 1200 watts, manufactured in Italy and uses a unique second tank. Not much to consider . Deep in the backbone of the thread I mentioned some experimention with a rinse that I painted on. My interest is more focused on design and durability. All the Best.

In the video clip they said it requires one minute to start steaming for 30 minutes. The additional tank is at the bottom of the unit and it will mix with the vapor at the last second, so it's not an apply and steam system, but a combination inside the water tank. It has more power than the Perfection and will not leak water into the record. I will suggest to take a look at the video and see it working.

J : Thank You. I reviewed the video. My concern is that the "show" is exactly that a show, no additional info other than what scantily they mention. What exactly do they doctument & is that informational ? For me, i'll wait until more facts present themselves in a Q&A section. Best to you.

Crem1 and Jahaira:

Do you think it is possible to have to much pressure? Perhaps with the Monster 1200?

Once up to heat and pressure, how much steam time do you get with the Perfection?
