Cardinal Record Cleaner

Wow, everything looks just great! I like your machine better than my modded VPI 16.5.

So clean, and so simply set up inside, it says to me a unit with little, or no basic need of any major maintainence down the road. No future hassles or worries with internal fluid leakage like the VPI 16.5 can commonly have happen.

The choice of amost any small wet-dry Vacuum Cleaner as a source for Vacuum at the Wand, the Vacuum is isolated, and if there's ever a need for replacement, a small shop Vacuum Cleaner is a lot less expensive than those Ametek-Lamb Rotary Vacuum Motors that are present inside of VPI RCMs. Vacuum Bar Presure can also be more easily fine tuned with an external Vacuum machine, whereas with any of the Commercial RCM's, this is not achieveable.

Heck, if one had a long enough hose, the Vacuum could hypotetically sit in another room, and even outside a dwelling if chosen. Or relegated to a cabinet-stand underneath the machine, lessening its sound.

I really like it, and you will no doubt recieve many years of great useage from this machine.

And a big thank you as well for the thanks you have given me for any help-advice-thoughts along the way! Mark
 
To OP....Richard is indeed a national treasure,he is currently touring in Europe with his 3 piece band-newest album to be released 2/5/13 "Electric",unfortunately the US leg of his tour comes no where close to my area!:tears: IMHO Richard Thompson is 'must see',I literally drag people to see him and they are always blown away.

I have a DIY, too. It's kinda cool, but nothing like this guy's. And I have no way to post pictures of mine. Sorry.
