Please contact us for any questions or to give us some tips on records grading. More than 50% of my records go through my ultrasonic cleaning machine to help soothing the surface noise, clicks and pops. The other 50% are mostly records that don’t need ultrasonic cleaning because of the grading. Also we try to tape or glue some of the records jackets that needs it.
