I just recently purchased a VPI16.5 and although I am very happy with the machine I can't seem to find a decent solution to use for it. I purchased a locally made liquid from eBay. It seems to be popular (they have sold 100+ of the 250ml bottles) however I'm certain they are using crap ingredients as it seems to be leaving a very slight film on the vinyl (I even checked it out under a microscope haha). I also tried an imported version but it doesn't seem to be very effective as it does not appear to have alcohol in it. Anyone got any suggestions?... and please... I do not have any desire to make it myself. Yes, I know I can but I really don't have the time or patience. Thanks In Advance. All advice is greatly appreciated.

Item: Okki Nokki Record Cleaning Machine Location: Len Wallis Audio HQ, 64 Burns Bay Road, Lane Cove NSW Price: $598 Item Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash, Credit Cards, PayPal Extra Info: With great cleaniness comes great(er) fidelity-ness when it comes to playing your vinyl treasures - so behold one of the strangest sounding product names in the business! Note: Apparently Okki Nokki is Dutch for 'Thumbs Up'. What isn't strange is the fact that this unit comes with not one but two bottles of cleaning solution, enough for many a record to be restored to it's former glory! It works by loosening via powered rotation, cleaning solution and goat hair brush and then sucking (via it's vacuum) any grime present on the vinyl surface. Once you've used it, you'll wonder why it took you so long to get one. Footnote: We aren't the only folk to sing it's praises, You can read Mr Marc Rushton's experiences with it here Pictures:

Item: Okki Nokki MKI MKII RCM (White) Location: Blue Mountains, Sydney Price: $520 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: EDIT: This is a MKII and not a MK1, as I first thought. This means it is manufactured in China (not Germany) and has a plastic instead of metal wand. Apologies for any confusion caused ! For sale is a MK II Okki Nokki record cleaner, purchased in 2014 from Krispy Audio. Included in the sale are wands for 12” and 7” records, a clamp, and dust cover. The cover and 7” wand are additional purchases and retail for $115 and $75 respectively, and the 7" wand is unused. The dust cover is a must IMO, as keeping dust from a RCM is pretty important ! The unit has seen mild to moderate use, and there are months where it’s barely used. For anyone not familiar with the Okki Nokki, it is a wet - vacuum cleaning system, and works by first agitating debris from the record as it rotates via a brush placed along the grooves. After a few rotations (the unit has forward and reverse) the wand vacuums the liquid away, leaving you with a clean and hopefully crackle and pop - free record. It can’t perform miracles and fix a record retrieved from a dumpster, but for gunk, mould, fingerprints etc... it does a good job. And with the debris and detritus new records come with, it’s a good idea to clean everything, not just 2nd hand purchases. Your needle will thank you. A few months after I received the unit, it had an issue with the vacuum cleaner which was easily fixed by a fuse replacement and was a common problem with this model. It has been trouble - free ever since. The original brush is long gone, so you’ll need to grab something suitable. There are plenty of options, and of course you’ll need to arm yourself with a record cleaning concoction. I’ll also throw in a back - up set of spare velvet strips, which attach to the 12” wand and should be changed about every 50 records. Shipping is possible as I have the box for the unit, however I don’t have one for the dust cover and so preference is given to local pick-up.
