It's not super loose, parts are plastic after all so they give some if I push too hard (power connector is a bit snug). It's possible I did something when replacing the PCB last year, don't remember it being an issue before that. Works fine though. If it ain't broke...

With mine the power connection (on the unit) has a little give when connecting, in other words it feels like it isn't secured tightly to the machine. Pushing the connector in too hard seems to move it some resulting in loss of connection.

Not saying it's the answer, but pull the plug back from the machine just a touch, see if that helps. If I push mine in too far it doesn't connect properly, gets no power. Pulling back just a bit works just fine.

I premix, 10 drops to a gallon, works well.

I preheat with VF in pouch for 30 minutes. Leave in pouch during cool down; if I'm around I'll open the pouch but leave record in VF until cool to the touch, otherwise I just let it be.

I still use my Record Doctor in lieu of the HG dry cycle, just as effective and can batch clean in less time. Works for me. :cool:

10 drops of G-Sonic per gal. distilled. Noticeable difference. :cool:

First thing I tried but didn't work so new PCB it was. All good now. Glad it worked for you :cool:

Another poster (Matt M) had this issue, the cog motor needed replacement. See this post: #2,289 , search thread for his other posts for more background.

You're welcome, and thanks to all who posted prior. Mine doesn't make the high-pitched whine either, prior to repair it was infrequent. Thought about contacting HG, but after multiple cleans the unit is working fine. Glad you got yours working again :cool:

I just went through the same issue, contacted poster folsom_lives as he posted the same issues earlier in the thread. Send an email to HG, they will respond (keep in mind the 12 hour difference, their business hours are M-F 10am-6pm their time). They sent me a new PCB and instructions, fairly...

Did a test when I first purchased, Low - 135°F, Med - 150°F, High - 179°F. All with empty pouch. Subsequent tests including VF averaged around 140°F for Medium setting. Haven't checked since. Been some time since I've used. Picked up a couple crates a while back, anticipate I'll be firing...

After a number of trials the sweet spot for me is 3 hrs @ medium heat, 30 minutes for warmup (VF in pouch) then 2.5 hrs loaded (full felt ring). Warp towards the fold of pouch. Knocked out every edge warp. I don't use the washer/wingnut when heating. Forgot to use it once and found it worked...

Took the plunge ('Guru). My unit arrived Aug. 9th, had 3 cleaning sessions since. Pretty happy with the results so far, noticeable difference in some of the older, noisier records. My routine is a little different, I don't use the dry cycle. Used records I'm flipping get a quick scrub...

Bon for the win...

Think this can be fixed? 😂 Was posted on reddit yesterday... First delivery after moving...

What kvetcha said. Or fix 'em. Or send them to me :sneaky:

Wouldn't doubt it, I see the same thing in the golf industry. Cheaper alloys to cut costs but clubs are more expensive. My stuff is primarly 70's-80's and I've had 100% success (fingers crossed), all edge warps, a few significant. I ran the colored Raven record I posted about earlier (post...

Update: Success (close enough anyway :cool:) 1st run - Low heat 1 hr. Didn't make a difference 2nd run - Med heat 1.5 hrs. Slight improvement 3rd run - Med heat 1.45 hrs. Better, almost there... Last run - Med heat 2 hrs. Not perfect but good enough. Don't want to tempt fate. No affect...
