"Purchased in 1987 at Rogersound stereo in the SF Valley for $725."

dwellwer- I still have my RSL Speedscreens, from the Torrance store. I paid around the same amount. They were retired and mothballed in the mid 90's.

This old review was for the 2nd generation. My pair are the 1st, which had a conventional tweeter and cleaner looks IMO. Sonics I thought, werent dramatically different.

Sadly, In a few more years, RSL was done.

Wasn't Upscale Audio next door tp RSL? BTW, '87 was the year of a big earthquake. I was working in the IT dept. of Columbia Pictures at the time.
Dweller-

Upscale Audio was RSL's  super hi end part of,their retail stores. I remember it was a dept within the store. 

I won't speak for Kevin, but he was a RSL employee and when he went and did his own thing, named it UA.
The original Zerostat was sold by Discwasher and was part of a kit which included the Discwasher brush, D3 fluid, and stylus brush. They were also sold separately in red and early models were white.

The modern era Zerostat is made by Milty (blue) and was selling for $90US, but is now on Amazon for $70.
My old red Zerostat was becoming ineffective, so I found a seller on Ebay who had a case of NOS Discwashers. I bought a brand new red Zerostat for $50 (the Milty was $90) and it works very well when you follow the directions. Although, after playing one side of a record a static charge does build up on the vinyl.
