PRC-3 Mk. III

About the PRC-3 Mk. III

The Loricraft PRC-3 Mk. III is a professional-grade record cleaning machine designed based on the pioneering work of Percy Wilson. It features a laboratory-grade vacuum pump with a flow rate of approximately 16.5 litres per minute, close to the optimum for cleaning vinyl records. The machine uses a unique vacuum suction system with a nylon thread that floats on the record surface, preventing damage while effectively removing dirt and contaminants. The platter is driven by a high-torque motor with a precision oil-filled bearing housed in phosphor bronze to resist lateral forces during cleaning. The vacuum arm has sealed precision bearings to resist fluid ingress, and the entire unit is built with moisture-resistant coatings. The machine is finished with black laminate around the base and a black acrylic top deck, weighing about 38 lbs. It includes a spool of thread and a glass collection jar for waste fluid. The PRC-3 Mk. III is known for its quiet operation, allowing cleaning while listening to music, and is trusted by audiophiles and archivists worldwide. It comes with a 5-year warranty for manufacturing defects and craftsmanship.
