Know before you buy
This kit is compatible with most VPI record cleaning machines. However, please note that it is not compatible with the original style 16.5 or the Cyclone models.
Yes, the kit includes the specialized vacuum pick-up tube and the necessary tube holder. You will have all the hardware required to set up your machine for 7-inch singles.
The integrated guide slot ensures your 7-inch record is properly aligned with the vacuum tube. This prevents misalignment and ensures the vacuum effectively removes fluid and debris from the smaller surface area.
No, a standard 12-inch tube is too long for a 7-inch record and will not create the necessary vacuum seal. This dedicated 7-inch kit is essential for achieving proper suction on smaller vinyl formats.
The system is designed for straightforward installation. Once you have the holder in place, swapping the tubes is a quick process that allows you to transition between cleaning 12-inch LPs and 7-inch singles efficiently.
