The VC-E2 allows cleaning fluid to be worked across the record surface and then vacuumed away, removing fluid and loosened contamination rather than leaving it behind to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWet Cleaning and Vacuum Drying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA practical way to remove more than loose dust\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the supplied Wash it 2 fluid, use the brush to distribute it through the grooves, then engage the vacuum arm to lift the liquid from the playing surface.

A quick dry brush remains useful before each play, but a vacuum cleaner tackles the accumulated grime and residual cleaning fluid that a brush cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would choose the VC-E2 for a home collection centred on 12-inch records, especially where shelf space is limited. The magnetic clamp speeds up the process and the premixed cleaning fluid simplifies setup. For intensive cleaning of a very large collection, the larger VC-S3 is worth comparing. Whatever machine you use, keep the suction strips clean and store freshly cleaned records in clean inner sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68068368154811,"sku":null,"price":899.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/1956\/3610\/files\/project-vc-e2-hero.png?v=1793490911","url":"https:\/\/theaudioexperts.com.au\/products\/pro-ject-vc-e2-vacuum-record-cleaning-machine","provider":"The Audio Experts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
