The Loricraft PRC2 Mk4 is a fully professional record cleaner used by record shops, collectors, and discerning audiophiles world-wide. It has a large, very quiet pump which is mounted externally in its own box. This can be placed up to a couple of metres away, even in a cupboard for almost silent running. This is useful in remastering studios. The fluid collection jar is now located conveniently on the side of the main box like the other models. Additional improvements include a new switch which can reverse the direction of rotation of the record being cleaned, a slightly faster rotation speed and real wood veneers in ash, walnut and cherry. This double box design has long been considered by a large number of users to be the "state of the art machine". It can clean 16 inch diameter 78 rpm discs and one was used to prepare Bing Crosby recordings for their award winning transfer to CD using one of our 401 machines. Larger diameters can be cleaned where this is specified when ordering.
The Loricraft PRC3 is our optimised redesign which offers all the same features as the original PRC2 but it has a simpler one piece construction, and a lower price. The picture above shows one being tested in the workshop before shipping to the USA. It is our most popular model, and hundreds were sold in the last 12 months. Some reviews of the Record Cleaners are listed at the bottom of this page. A recent machine was constructed for the cleaning of 20 inch records.
The Loricraft PRC4 is the most recent addition to the range. It builds on the excellent feedback we have had from customers and reviewers. It is the single box version of the PRC2 Mk4 cleaner. It has a new, more powerful, double action pump for more suction, the record now rotates at the higher rate of our North American model, the direction of rotation can be reversed at the flick of a switch, and the plinth is now made in a choice of real wood veneers, such as ash, walnut and cherry.
