For Sale: Classic record cleaning set in mint or near mint shape.
Probably made in the 1970's- not sure when they switched from D3 to D4 fluid.
Includes good condition wood handle record cleaner pad, brush for cleaning the pad after each use, wood handle stylus brush with mirror on one side, white handle brush with long bristles, white Zerostat gun, neon test bulb, and a container of approx 3/4 full D3 record cleaning fluid. Wood base storage rack is in pretty nice shape, clear Plexiglas dust cover has no cracks or chips.
The Zerostat gun is made to remove static charge from records by holding it close and pulling the trigger until it clicks. When tested with the included little neon bulb the bulb briefly glows orange to show it working correctly.

A favorite among collectors for many years. Use the brush dry or wet with the included 1.25 oz. fluid. The more active, yet safe, D4+ fluid is actually able to lift and suspend contaminants in solution on the record surface so the D4 pad can easily and efficiently remove debris.
The D4+ Record Care System is the result of intensive scientific research on safe record cleaning. The D4+ System is a cleaning system unlike other products, which reduce record dynamics and fidelity. The more active, yet safe, D4+ fluid is actually able to lift and suspend contaminants in solution on the record surface so the D4 pad can easily and efficiently remove debris. Containing less residue than tap water, D4+ fluid will clean without depositing new residues on the record surface; it will not encourage any biological growth as do "constantly damp" cleaning methods.
For longer life, Discwasher recommends that records be lightly cleaned each time before playing. New records should also be cleaned before their first play. Although presumed clean, many new recordings still have mold release compounds in their grooves, thus requiring cleaning.
HAND CRAFTED
The handle of the Discwasher D4+ Record Care System has been hand crafted and finished from solid American walnut, creating elegance for an already superior cleaner.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUTINE PRE-PLAY CLEANING
Application
Apply 3-6 drops of the D4+ fluid in a line on the leading edge of the pad (the arrow on the end of the handle points to the leading edge). Distribute the fluid along the leading edge of the pad using several deliberate strokes with the bottom of the D4 bottle, causing the pad to form a strip of damp fabric.
Position
Position the disc washer handle/pad with the arrow end on the outside edge of the record. Gently contact the record with the damp leading edge of the pad. The turntable motor may be assisted by gently turning the record with you finger on the label.
Clean/Dry
Allow the damp leading edge to contact the record for about three revolutions. Dry the record with a simple rolling movement of the handle, allowing for the middle and back edge to contact the album for several revolutions, assuring thorough drying.
Clean Pad
Clean the pad using the DC-1tm Pad cleaner. Lightly brush the damp pad in the direction of the arrow on the Discwasher handle. A dry Discwasher pad may be lightly brushed lengthwise.
DO NOT USE THE D4 KIT AS A STYLUS CLEANER.
