IMAGINE WHIRLLED PEAS

Many years ago, I owned one of the famous VPI vacuuming machines for my albums. Here is what happened: The liquid went on very well, the scrubbing was good, and THEN I turned on the vacuum. Sucked that wand right down on the vinyl causing damage. I am a mechanically talented person, who knows a defective/badly engineered product when I see one. In this case, the stiction of the vacuum wand did not allow the wand to lower until sufficient vacuum was achieved. When that did occur, then the wand was slammed down against the vinyl and stayed that way. In my life, over and over, I have seen honest attempts at a great idea only to be poorly executed on the production line. Almost every category that I can think of, even in the medical field, not enough care went far enough for the item being used. Sorry to sound bitter, but so many times, I have to insist on doing jobs myself due to the lake of trust that I have in those who were supposedly trained for the job in the first place. These days, I work at a local museum that you would expect a higher level of understanding about the quality of care for items. Not so. There is simply no room to write all of the frustrations over the course of time.
Again, I am just letting off steam here. My final thought is that the one place that I would trust record cleaning to is PVF. No harm came from them. none.
