Consider building an ultrasonic cleaner. It’s better than the vacuum type. I have a
VPI 16.5, but a friend’s autodesk cleaner does a remarkably better job. There are DIY
plans for ultrasonic cleaners out there, that are not that expensive.
I only have about 350 vinyl albums at the moment but cleaning still takes a
while, regardless of the method.
And the care and feeding of vinyl is fairly trivial compared to the hassles of
RTR tape. But tape can sound really good. (2-track stereo 15+ ips or more like
from a safety master)

I've looked at those, and at some point probably will, but a decent 60Hz
USC that big is around $500 or so. When I'm employed again (hopefully
damned soon....) and have some discretionary income, I will probably do
that so I have both accessible. I don't think US is safe for really old
78's, and I want to develop a specialty niche doing 78's since there
seems to be a hole there to be filled.
