The Pro-Ject VC-E 7" Records Cleaning Kit is an add-on accessory for owners of Pro-Ject VC-E and VC-E2 record cleaning machines who also want to clean 7" singles. The standard VC-E and VC-E2 are configured for 12" LPs; the 7" Kit provides dedicated components that allow the machine's full vacuum power to be applied to smaller-format records.
What Is Included
The kit contains three items. The dedicated vacuum arm is sized and positioned specifically for 7" records, with short adhesive velvet strips to contact the record surface correctly. The dedicated 7" clamp replaces the standard clamp, which cannot fit a 7" record; it seals the record label and holds the record securely on the platter during cleaning. A 100ml bottle of Wash it 2 vinyl cleaning fluid is also included. Wash it 2 is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use concentrate; it is alcohol-free, biodegradable, non-flammable, and non-toxic.
Why a Dedicated 7" Kit
The geometry of the standard vacuum arm and clamp is optimised for 12" records. Using them on a 7" single would leave the groove area inadequately covered and the standard clamp will not seat correctly on a smaller label. The dedicated components in this kit restore full cleaning coverage and secure clamping for 7" format records.
Compatible Machines
The VC-E 7" Kit MKII is designed for use with the VC-E and VC-E2. Versions are also available for the VC-S, VC-S2, and VC-S3 machines.
