Nitty Gritty
Nitty Gritty was established in 1981 by audiophiles Ken Erickson, Michael Baskin and Elliot Buckler, with the sole purpose of providing competitive professional record cleaning products at affordable prices, worldwide. The first Nitties were built right in Ken’s home in Montclair, California. They were—and still are—simple, effective and much more compact than the other units on the market. In 1982, Nitty Gritty models were redesigned with an injection-molded head section, featuring a vacuum slot designed to produce a venturi effect, maximizing the velocity of the cleaning suction while minimizing contact with the record.
