Oh yeah, I remember the various record cleaning gizmos. At one point we had a three sided yellow pump bottle of record cleaning fluid with one edge covered in velvet. You’d spritz some cleaner onto the record then turn the bottle on edge and wipe it clean. That was forever ago and I was just a kid but I’ve recently gotten back into vinyl. The cool thing is that you can buy the absolute top of the line turntables and receivers from back in the day for relatively little money on eBay. I bought a fantastic Yamaha rig a few years ago in brushed aluminum and have accumulated a hundred or so LPs to play on it. The nostalgia factor is huge.
