They would have to be local. Then, How much would one charge to make it worth the bother? And how little would it have to be to get folks interested.
Thenthe labor? Who does the work?
So in geberal the charge would be somewhere between $0.50 to $2,00 per record.
Considering who would allow some stranger with no experience to use your cleaning machine? I suppose the owner of the machine would be doing the work. that makes it closer to the $2 a record cost. which FEW record owners would ever consider paying.
Consider the waste of time of setting up an appointment, then jabberingabout chleaning, answeringquestions, and then finallyactually cleaning the LPs. With the typical percentage of folks who will end up 'not happy' due to still noise on LPs etc.. The most one could charge and actually get customers is a buck a pop.
And what sort of guarantee? clean but no guarantee.
Clean and no noise (impossible to promise)
So reading my own writing, NO ONE would bother with trying to do this. Too much work for no gain.
The only saving part would be for folks who want to meet other audio types, and love to talk. They might find the excuse of cleaning records worth the bother involved, so they could meet other audiophiles.
The actual common sense solution would be to BUY a used record cleaning machine, clean all your records, Then sell it.
