I’m after a motor suitable for cleaning records on a wooden disc with a rubber platter top.

The motor will have to cope with some downward pressure, not much, just using a felt pad for cleaning.

If he’s anything like me there’s probably half a dozen in the shed.

You made me curious. I guess these people should know what they are talking about:

We still have some vinyl, and I think there is a small turntable somewhere. I suppose one day we might get around to bothering to see if the records are OK.

My (very expensive in 1982) tonearm cartridge has a tiny brush on it that removes dust from the groove ahead of the stylus. I have not had to clean records since. Nor have I had to replace the stylus (which shown no wear yet – checked by microscope every mow and again). I clean the brush often, though.

This article is worth reading, I think. Especially for the record cleaning ideas.

Op shops here will not stock any electrical goods. Try elsewhere.
