I put together a good record cleaning system for cheap. I'm just using an old turntable platter, mobile fidelity brush, a shop-vac and record doctor cleaning fluid. I modified the long narrow attachment that came with the shop-vac. Basically just cut a long slit on the bottom of the attachment and plugged the original opening with gaffers tape. I then cut a replacement pad from the MF brush and stuck it on both sides of the slit in the attachment.
My cleaning regement is as follows.
Place record on old platter, apply fluid to Mobile Fidelity brush, scrub record, spray record with distilled water, then vacuum. I then rinse the MF brush with water and vacuum that with the modified attachment. That keeps both the brush and vacuum pads nice and clean without excess wear.
Works like a champ. I then have another brush I use for quick dusting of the record before each play.
Shop-vac - $25
Mobile Fidelity Brush - $20 (replacement pads 2 for $5)

They last awhile but at $5 for 2 you might as well get several at once to avoid extra shipping cost down the road.
