Okeh...noted a thread about cleaning records (78?) on ARSCLIST, so I'll try
asking this...
I'm currently going through my collection to see what the heck I own, and
what has and hasn't survived. These records have, for the most part, stayed
in their milk boxes, usually in my basement, untouched for about 10-15
years...and then been stored again here in Oshawa. However, they have
accumulated dust (in sone cases plaster dust from a renovation) and
in some cases targeted by spraying cats. As well, they never have
been thoroughly cleaned since I owned them (and probably before?)
So, given that I have about 40,000 78's in various stages of dirtiness, and don't have access to anything resembling a fortune (as well as sinks and racks for mass-production cleaning and drying of 78's!)...what is the best way to clean them (they don't have to be surgical-quality clean) that is compatible with my limited budget and facilities?
