Pro-Ject VC-S 7 Inch Arm Kit For VCS w/ Aluminum Arm Flange Only

The 7-Inch Arm Kit for the VC-S — Arm, Clamp and a Bottle of Wash It

Pro-Ject's add-on kit for cleaning 7-inch records on the VC-S record cleaning machine, sold as a kit. It contains a dedicated clamp for singles, a vacuum arm that gives full vacuum power during cleaning, and a spare 100 ml bottle of Wash It cleaning concentrate.

This version is for machines with the aluminum arm flange. Pro-Ject's VC-S went through more than one arm mounting arrangement, so the flange on your machine is the detail that decides whether this is the right kit.

Fit and Function

Why the Standard Parts Will Not Do

Pro-Ject is direct about it: the standard record clamp and vacuum arm supplied with the VC-S are correct for 12-inch records, and the standard clamp will not fit a 7-inch single at all. It is not a matter of results — the parts do not physically suit the record.

What Comes in the Kit

The dedicated 7-inch clamp, the vacuum arm, and 100 ml of Wash It concentrate. The concentrate is a genuine extra rather than packaging — it is the fluid the machine uses, and having a bottle in the box means the kit is ready to use on arrival.

Whether you need this version or the VC-S3 kit comes down to which machine is on your bench. They are not interchangeable, and the price difference between them reflects different contents rather than different quality.

Who Is This Kit Best For?

• You own a VC-S with the aluminum arm flange — the specific machine this kit is cut for
• You collect 7-inch singles — and have been unable to clean them properly until now
• You want the fluid included — a 100 ml bottle of Wash It concentrate comes in the box
• You buy used 45s — the records that benefit most from a vacuum clean
• Your machine is a VC-S3, VC-S2 or VC-E — each takes its own kit; see record cleaning accessories

How Do You Fit It?

Unplug the machine and remove the standard clamp and vacuum arm. Fit the 7-inch arm to the flange and set the dedicated clamp on the spindle. Mix the Wash It concentrate as directed, then run a single you are not attached to before trusting it with a rarity.

Pairs Well With

What most VC-S owners keep alongside.

• Record cleaning solutions — the fluid the machine is there to remove
• Record cleaning accessories — the rest of the spares and consumables
• Record cleaning machines — if you are still choosing one
• Record brushes — for the dust that never needs a machine

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my machine?

It is for the Pro-Ject VC-S with the aluminum arm flange. The VC-S3, VC-S2 and VC-E use different arrangements and take their own kits.

How many do I need?

One kit. It contains the clamp, the arm and a 100 ml bottle of Wash It concentrate.

Can I use my standard clamp on a 7-inch record?

Pro-Ject states that the standard clamp will not fit a single, which is why the kit includes a dedicated one rather than just a shorter arm.
