The Spin Clean Record Washing System offers an alternative to the conventional brush method of cleaning your vinyl. The unique Spin Clean system allows you to clean both sides of your record at the same time using a special tank unit with attached record brush rollers that scrub the record clean in a bath of washer fluid. This washer fluid is created from a special formula that encapsulates the dirt and keeps it suspended in the system instead of evaporating or redepositing it back on to your valuable record. Once the record has been thoroughly cleaned simply remove it from the tank, place it on a flat surface and wipe dry with the drying cloth. A simple and very effective way to keep your vinyl collection in tip top shape. Comes with enough fluid to wash 700 records, and two lint free drying cloth. The system itself contains the dual brush set and a pair of adjustable rollers (33-45-78) plus a set of directions on the inside of the lid. All of this is packed in a handy storage box.

Engineers and scientists from NASA and GM worked together through a Space Act Agreement at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to build a new humanoid robot capable of working side by side with people. Using leading edge control, sensor and vision technologies, future robots could assist astronauts during hazardous space missions and help GM build safer cars and plants.
