Supposedly it did great stuff to the records, but no one ever used it. Too many LPs, too much time required, and not enough appreciable sound difference. Maybe it'd be good if someone spilled a soda on a record. The other thing was that there was some kind of warning about never using discwasher fluid again on a record once it'd been through the machine. I always pictured some hapless dj doing so, causing an LP to melt into bubbling vinyl on the turntable. Or maybe powerful static discharges shooting forth or something. -Randy
