You can do it on the relatively cheap.
A very well made device that spins 4 record slowly in a US machine is sold on ebay for $290. A 6 liter US machine (the smallest that will work) is $160. Add an $11 Walmart fishtank filter. That's less than a VPI machine.
The final rinse in distilled water can be done in a small home made tank, a small plastic fish tank or on a conventional record cleaning machine. Drying can be done on a machine. Or it can be done with microfiber cloths after rinsing with distilled water and shaking well. I would not leave them out to dry.
Or you can spend $1500 - $4000 on a commercial machine.
Or you can wait a few years until VPI comes out with a combo US - vacuum on both sides machine.
