record cleaners - keith monks prodigy, ultrasonic,…?

[vinylmonkey]

Would love to hear any experience with the new Keith Monks Prodigy (ease of use & performance).

Also, wet/vacuum vs ultrasonic?

Did any PFMers get in on the “Humminguru” ultrasonic cleaner kickstarter?

I've a long history with record cleaning. I used to sell the Disc Doctor manual cleaning system from the States I have always maintained machines are not really required. Having said that I made my own Ultrasonic cleaning machine and that has brought a whole new level of cleaning.
My technique now is:-
1 Brush loose muck off with a carbon fibre brush.
2 Hand clean with the Disc Doctor kit.
3 Ultrasonic clean in a bath of distilled water, IPA, Ilfosol and Disc Doctor fluid.
4 Vaccum dry with a RCM machine bought from Hong Kong.

This full treatment is only needed on really badly soiled discs. But it works. My local record shop now asks me to clean his rare 1950- 60s finds and it turns unplayable discs into worthwhile records.

I love my Okki Nokki, records are clean, fast, not to noisy for a long period.
Ultrasonic is better, cleaner, but much more noisy for a long period of time.
