Nitty Gritty Model One record cleaner
Very nice condition this unit was traded in by a client cleaning out their closet.  I believe it is over 10 years old, but I just tried it and it functions flawlessly.
Manual Operation: Manual application of fluid, manual brushing and rotating during vacuuming, waste fluid drain plug on bottom. Comes complete with fluid and necessary parts for immediate operation.

Introduction to Nitty Gritty Machines
Record cleaning devices operate on a number of different theories and principles, but they all have one thing in common: they do NOT totally clean all pollutants from record grooves. They leave film, grease, residue, micro dust, static electricity, carbon fiber hairs, and mold release compounds behind. These remaining pollutants prevent the record owner from hearing all the music on the record, regardless of the quality of the playback system! And they cause premature wear of the record and phono stylus. Until now, no single system was able to rid a record's surface of film, grease, residue, and dust while it eliminated static electricity and left a purified vinyl disc. Nitty Gritty offers such a system. The improvement in sound that a Nitty Gritty cleaning makes is so dramatic that the benefit of upgrading one component (of a hi-fi system) is less significant by comparison. 

Step 1:
The first step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to scrub the record with a special fluid wash. Purifier 2 is the stronger cleaner, capable of overpowering the most stubborn residue or grease. It contains a degreaser, a static neutralizer, a mild detergent, and surfactant. 

Purifier 2 has a remarkably low 6 parts solid per million dissolved solids, making it residue free. Purifier 1 is recommended for 78 RPM records as it contains no alcohol. Both Purifiers are formulated from chemicals that are totally biodegradable.

The Nitty Gritty VAC-SWEEP brush has thousands of microscopic fibers that gently scrub the record's grooves. Its short bristles make the most efficient use of Nitty Gritty's special cleaning fluids, and its softness protects a record from abrasion.

Step 2:
The second step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to vacuum the scrubbed record. Possibly the most unique part of the Nitty Gritty system is the "hemi cylindrical lip interface. Through these fiber-covered lips, the vacuum motor suctions a dry path across the entire grooved surface of the record. The shape of the lips serves to minimize contact with the record as well as maximize the velocity of the air, utilizing the "venturi effect." The VAC-SWEEP (fibrous cloth liner) provides additional scrubbing while it cushions contact with the record, protecting the fragile record grooves.

The record is supported on the rotating platform which is designed to eliminate any contact with the record grooves. This removes the possibility of recontaminating the first side cleaned, while cleaning the second .

"(Nitty Gritty) made previously dirty records sound like heaven on earth, and there is nothing at anywhere near the price that will do as much for your dirty records." International Audio Review

Low reserve for this listing makes it a no brainer - hear what is really on those records once they are good and clean!
