I knew this would happen, which is why I resisted buying a TT for almost 20 years. They are so darned sexy and sound so good, I keep buying albums, now I am thinking of adding a Degritter. I have a Kirmuss, which does a great job at the cost of a lot of time, and setup.
Does anyone have a Degritter and if so are you pleased with your purchase?

I do not have one personally but a very close friend has one and he swears by it for the speed and depth of cleaning it achieves.
I have watched it at work and there truly is zero effort from the operator besides the usual prep.
A lot of money and I am stuck with my home brewed US cleaning rig but if I had the money there would be one in my garage right now!
Thanks Mikael, I saw the HumminGuru I think it goes on sale next week. I think it will be a game changer (in a few years). The price is perfect, and will probably make Degritter lower their price, but I hate paying to be a beta or worse an Alpha tester.
Still waiting for the EPA-100mk2 to return from service. The Gold Note PH-10 is long gone, same with the EPA-100p. It was replaced by a Jelco 750DB but an irresistible waiting tonearm emerged just recently, so the Jelco had to go.

Does this count?
And yes it does work…
Semi automatic even!
Lift up the tonearm and move it across towards the record and the platter starts going.
I think the stylus has seen better days but hard to tell with the few pretty beat up 78,s I have available here.

Thank you!
I saw it in an antique store, price was fair as being sold as untested…
Was a pleasant surprise when I added plug to end of power cable and it worked.
About 1950,s Bakelite.
As long as the remote doesnt control it, you’re fine!
Actually very nice! A friend of mine has got a thing for electrical players for 78rpm shellacs, and he has played some Chuck Berry and Big band jazz on these, to my surprised ears. Those record CAN sound very nice!
