Methods, systems and apparatus for cleaning phonograph records are disclosed. In some embodiments, a phonograph record can be cleaned in a liquid basin using ultrasonic transducers, wherein the liquid basin has a dampening structure. Also, the ultrasonic transducers are disposed on a flexible wall for reducing vibrations of the cleaner.

A method of constructing a wall clock using vinyl records allows a vinyl record to be recycled and repurposed as a wall clock. A used vinyl record is refurbished by being polished and buffed to respectively improve shine and remove any scratches. Track information and/or other designs are engraved onto the vinyl record for aesthetic purposes. A central portion of the vinyl record is modified into a clock-receiving setting in order to receive a center piece. The center piece is the display face of a wall clock. The center piece is mounted into the clock-receiving setting. A clock mechanism is mounted onto the center piece, opposite the clock-receiving setting. The clock mechanism may be any type of mechanism in order produce a clock movement for a wall clock. The clock mechanism includes a pair of clock hands to allow an individual to tell time from the constructed wall clock.

For phonograph record users, an apparatus for cleaning records is a common accessory. Such accessories range from handheld brushes to liquid-filled ultrasonic chambers and include rotating platforms for cleaning with fluids. The rotating platform facilitates manual or automatic cleaning of the record surface using a cleaning fluid applied with an applicator such as a brush or pad. The rotating platform systems typically provide a vacuum system for removing the fluid after said fluid has dissolved or suspended contaminants from the record surface. Many existing systems employ a vacuum through a slotted tube or wand to collect the cleaning fluid, but this can result in several deficiencies. For example, the record can be scratched from the wand, fluid absorbed from the wand's velvet may absorb some liquid which in turn gets rubbed back on the record, among other problems.

A static electricity elimination floating tonearm includes a tonearm base, a tonearm, a deflector and an ion air-pressure device. An air-floating arm tube extends horizontally from a side of the tonearm base, a top edge of the air-floating arm tube is provided with air holes arranged at intervals, the tonearm includes a floating piece and an arm rod, and the ion air-pressure device is provided for generating an airflow with positive and negative ions which is sent into the changer of the air-floating arm tube and blown out from the air holes of the air-floating arm tube, the floating piece together with the arm rod are blown upward to define an air-floating state, and deflected by the floating piece and the deflector and blown towards the turntable, not only providing a frictionless air-floating displacement state of the tonearm, but also eliminating static electricity and dust on the turntable.
