    Congrats! Is this your first record cleaning machine? I can't imagine doing without one.

    I found a cart to put this on that's not too big or expensive.

    It would be better if the drain tube was gravity drained so that you did not have to tilt
    the machine. That way I could extend the tube and drain to a reservoir on the bottom shelve.

    I like the contrast between the black and red.
