Description

For Sale is a used Kab EV-1 Professional Vacuum Record Cleaner. I bought this new about 3 years ago for 169 dollars and have only cleaned about 50 records total with it. It comes with everything it originaly came with except the cleaning fluid. This is a better option than buying a more expensive Nitty Gritty and worked great in my opinion. The felt is a little worn but nothing major as the pictures show. It also comes in the original box and instruction manual is included. The following was taken off their website which is www.kabusa.com.

I will ship carefully and promptly

KAB EV-1

EXTERNAL VACUUM RECORD CLEANER

Nitty Gritty Co. of California specializes in hi value professional record cleaners. In 1992, KAB received approval to use the precision Lexan top plate -the heart of every Nitty Gritty model- in an external vacuum record cleaner of our own design, The KAB EV-1.

  The EV-1 creates two breakthroughs. Weighing in at under 5 Lbs, It ships nearly anywhere in the world at very low cost. The EV-1 offers a cost savings of over $100 when compared to the basic Nitty Gritty Model 1.

  For proper operation of the EV-1, you must have a home style canister or upright vacuum with hose attachments. Shop vac units are not to be used for they are too powerful.

  With the KAB EV-1, you apply the fluid and rotate the records manually. Includes Turner/Label protector, applicator brush and 4 oz of LP fluid . The vacuum energizes the velvet covered vac sweep slot. This action pulls the fluid into the EV1 enclosure. There the fluid remains. A series of baffles, venturi air jets and fabric filter keep any fluid or dirt from reaching your vacuum. A drain plug is provided to empty the EV-1.

   A great record cleaning value! And remember, with the KAB EV-1 you are getting the famous Nitty Gritty record cleaning system. Price & Purchase

The KAB EV-1 brings professional record cleaning to more people than any other model. Manual application of fluid and record rotation, save the user a lot of money. Cleans 7, 10 and 12" records.

Most households have a vacuum cleaner, so you already have the key ingredient to better sounding vinyl. All you need now is the EV-1!

Operation is really very easy. And once you get the hang of it, only takes a minute or so to clean a record.

And remember, after cleaning on a KAB EV-1, the record is ready to play or store away. No waiting for the record to "air dry", only to become contaminated and noisy again.

GREAT FEATURES

1 Year Warranty
Accessories included:
- 4 oz of LP fluid
- Applicator Brush
- Record Turner
Precision Molded Cabinet
Precision Lexan Top Plate
Gray Over Black Finish

The really great features to take note of with the KAB EV-1 Cleaner are, I believe, the ease of use and low cost. Ever since its introduction in 1992, the EV-1 has been a favorite of cost conscious record collectors and audiophiles.

There simply is no better way to clean vinyl. The test of time has shown that wet scrub vacuum removal is the accepted and trusted method to effectively clean vinyl. The micro groove is so small, that the least little bit of contamination left behind will make noise.

Other models offer additional convenience features like built in vacuum, motor drive and fluid application. If you find these features desirable, take a look at them. And don't miss the famous Model 1 Basic LP cleaner, a great value.

But remember, all models will clean your records to the same degree.
