Cleaning phonograph discs

We have a large collection of phonograph disks ranging from 10 inch
to 16 inch that need to be cleaned.  Apparently the Monks machine is
no longer available. Can anyone recommend a washer that will handle
the various sizes? Is there a recommended procedure for hand
washing? Thank you,

    (http://palimpsest.stanford.edu is the preferred access, but if
    you don't have a web browser, you can get to most of CoOL by
    gopher (to palimpsest.stanford.edu). There has been discussion
    of this subject on the DistList, so search the DistList archives
    in the Gopher facet of cool for

        cleaning phonograph discs

    In the Commission and Preservation and Access area of the Gopher
    facet, you will also find     Gille St. Laurent's Care and
    Handling of Recorded Sound Materials.
