I enjoyed your top gear reference.

This machine looks well constructed. Everything else from there appears wrong though! Firstly, the speed is too high, the brush bristles will NOT be able to track the grooves completely enough to clean them properly. Slower speeds are mandatory for more thorough cleaning. (like the VPI) Scrubbing at high speed like this machine does is visually appealing, and may seem right in the ordinary world.... but to the record it's not! The wand looks nice too but is wrong.. not getting into it!

"All we know, it's called the stick." Awesome British television reference there!

works well.

but that looks like a record player with jam jars with a pump spray inside,

They cost alot of money as well.

I think i could make one myself for peanuts.

better start eating some jam lol
