New pad for Dust Bug record cleaner

[NOS-4-A2]

Can anyone help? I'm trying to find a new pad/brush for my dust bug record cleaner - the cylinder brush - as mine's gone concave and so only cleans at the edges. Alternatively, if someone's got an unused dustbug in good condition that they would like to sell I'd be interested in that too.

Dust bug? Yick! They are the work of the devil. Try playing a record with it tracking the disk and then with the bug removed - you should notice a large reduction in rumble / tighter bass etc.

There are IMHO only two things worth using to clean records; a hand held carbon fibre brush (works better than a dustbug at lifting surface dust, and you do it all in one sweep before you start) and a proper (i.e. expensive) wet vacuum cleaner which actually cleans the record rather than just moving a little dust off the top.
