1.5 FI Record Cleaner

About the 1.5 FI Record Cleaner

The Nitty Gritty Model 1.5 FI is a semi-automatic LP record cleaner designed to make cleaning vinyl records faster and easier. It features automatic fluid application via a fluid injection pump, automatic rotation of the record during scrubbing and vacuum cycles using the unique Capstan Record Drive, and a vacuum strip with microfiber fibers that scrub the grooves while simultaneously vacuuming away dirt and fluid. The machine has a vinyl wood grain cabinet with black oak vinyl sides and includes a slide-out waste tray for easy disposal of spent cleaning fluid. It comes with a 'velvet' record cleaning brush, a sixteen-ounce bottle of PURE 2 cleaning solution, and a small whisk. The Model 1.5 FI cleans records effectively without the need to manually scrub or wait for air drying, preserving record quality and reducing noise. It is made in the USA and includes a 1-year manufacturer's parts and labor warranty. Dimensions are approximately 18" x 9" x 8.5". This model supports automatic rotation of 7", 10", and 12" records with the optional 3-way adapter installed. The vacuum motor is somewhat loud during operation, and the machine is noted for its ease of use and speed compared to manual cleaning methods.
