Nice.

Are you going to paint it orange? Metal flake maybe?

Bill,

Is the vacumn pickup wand on the record something you made? How are the results of your record cleaning? What is in the bottle?

Liked the video. :thumb:

The wand was made of 1/2 PVC. I drilled two holes one on each end marked my lines and cut the slot out by hand w/ a hacksaw blade.
In the bottle was your typical DIY record cleaning solution.  1/3 90% alcohol 2/3 distilled water and a few drops of photo-flo. This is not
not as convenient as a VPI 16.5 but works just as well. I used Krylon spray adhesive and velvet on the wand to protect the surface of
the LP.
I made this for a friend who is getting into vinyl for the 1st time.
Total cost $61 ~ But I had some of the items here and the end table was only $5.30 at a thrift shop
