Yes I have-On both cylinders and records and it works great. I mix it with R/O water and you can use with distilled water as well. I rinse it at the sink with R/O water as well and then wipe down with micro-fibre cloth blues and let air dry.

Note the name of the company and you can look them up on line- I bought 8lbs for about $78.00 it will probably last me the rest of my life!

It works wonders, and the Library of Congress uses this to clean records and cylinders, both Celluloid, wax, and Shellac.

Looks like some hungry collector's decided to cash in on what's been on the net since I got my first computer 6 years ago.
