Mickey Thomas is a legend.

Warning points can be used to do automatic things like limit access to the site, block PMs, etc. We don't use them often because they deeply offend people. But the last time I issued one was to a new guy who was making deals here and backing out, and acting very suspiciously. It got his attention, even though warning points don't actually do anything for the time being. 'Why'd you warn me bro?!?!?!?' Was the worst it did. All you have to do is be nice, and you can have as much ice cream as you want.

That's great! I've studies the Chernobyl events for a long time. Many people thought thousands and thousand died, but it was actually only 29. The fallout sickness and death count is obviously higher, some estimates saying near 100,000 people died 'unnaturally'. There is still skepticism that the Russian government has ever come clean about the real statistics of death, sickness and exposure. I totally believe in the heroism. Very brave men fought to save the world there. All of the firefighters died, some of horrible radiation sickness days later. Then the 'liquidators', approximately 100,000, were exposed to extremely high levels of contaminates while cleaning up. Real life interviews of those men revealed that they all knew the job was dangerous, but it had to be done, and they are to this day damn proud that they played a part in stopping a much worse catastrophe. It is a very interesting part of history, and it kinda changed my mind about 'safe' nuclear power. I don't think it can ever be safe, not without some very convincing technology...

The only way is through browsing the server itself, or look though your activity stream all they way back to years ago and copy pics you've posted before. (you can bring up a list of every post you made. Go to your profile page, then go to 'see my activity' then choose 'posts'.)

Guys, this is an old thread and somewhat inappropriate for us to discuss, so I am locking it.

Cool. Spin Clean it is. And ultrasonic for the real aficionados. I very much appreciate all your input everyone.

Do NOT listen to this...posted ONLY for reference for the whole human race.

Testing testing.

Sounds good to me! I just have to stop being dirt poor to get out there.

It's possible. But I get asked about cleaners from time to time. I don't have any records yet, but I'm working on it. I have TT now at least!

Ultrasonic seems like the way to go if you have the willingness to spend the money. So paint the record with wood glue, dry, peel, then soak in 99.8% anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, hang to dry, then wipe with a terry cloth?

Maybe for the fine details, but the spirit of things are easily captured...

James - what product worked for you?

The best thing to do is compress it with Format Factory (free download). You can tweak the video and sound compression separately to hone in on the file size you want. A video editor (there are many) can help you crop and trim the video length for a small file size as well. The overall file size is dependent on the video resolution (360p, 480p 1080HD, etc), the video compression (mp4, avi, etc), the sound compression, the frame rate, the motion and color detail, and of course the total time.

Hello, You have a max file size limit of 1Mb. Once you become a full Member, it increases to 5Mb. May I ask the details about this file?

The Spin-Clean seems like a good start. But it's okay - I have some very um, affluent clients, so the expensive machines are fine for suggestions if anyone has used one.

I have to know... What is tried and true and works excellent for cleaning vinyl records? I'm looking for cleaning machines - not DIY methods, practices or opinions (yes I remember the alcohol debates...).

Hmm, I missed this post for some reason. Anyway, categories which don't count posts will be marked as such. It's a category level rule, so we can't attach that rule to individual topics just whenever we want to annoy the members. There are many other ways to annoy you...

@oldphaser Welcome Ed! So what brings you here?
