My DIY RCM ... Isn't She Lovely?

[eteller]

Very nice, mine is a planter stand and the same shop vac. I just use the crevice tool with a slot cut in it, you went well above and beyond.

Dude that is awesome!!!!! I need one of those machines, I might take on the DIY route this winter.
Using your Zerostat, I see you pull the trigger "quickly" making the clicking sounds. My instructions say to pull the trigger slowly, 5 sec process, hold the trigger for 1-2 sec then slowly release on a 5 sec burn. The click sound is from an internal spark which limits the ions produced, reducing the effect of the gun.
Just FYI....my gun helps and maybe different strokes for different folks!

Nice job on the RCM!

Haha, yeah, I was rushing because the battery on my phone was really weak when I shot the video. But I do follow what the instruction says on the zerostat. My bad.

Lovely she is! I want one.... need one! Sweet.

i would assume you have more than 50 albums or maybe 10 times more. Either way, you need an RCM. I have a cheap setup right now and I mean cheap but I want my sound clean. I couldn't afford to buy a VPI 16.5 again so this is what I came up with...isn't she lovely? :yes:

Update

I just thought I'd update my RCM. I found this paper bag holder at the thrift store. I was going to use it for what it was designed for but ended up using it as...

Superb job with how you thought this unit out and built it. I'd be proud to own one like it with not a second thought. And it is beautifully styled to boot. Elegant job.

that paper bag holder is a genious!

 

[ODYOFAEL]

Thanks for the compliments. ii thought it's a good idea to have the inner and outer sleeve by you when you are cleaning a record. Makes life easier. =)

Most pic were taken using my phone, the clearer ones where by an old Power Shot.
