Hi Jim, Tell me more about using Tri Flow as a record lube. I too have noticed the white dust on my Eric 45s but have just lived with it. Does Tri Flow negatively affect the needle?

You can watch record dust appear as it plays. Someone here mentioned using "tri-flow" as a lubricant for polystyrene records and I've been using it with no issues.
