I was reading a very pre 911 audio mag called Audiocraft for the HI FI hobbyist March 1958 35 cents worth of wisdom here.
I am sure you will all want to try this one below is what was published staying free of static
Radioactive Dust Brush
A Radioactive dust brush can be made very simple . Place the pick up with the needle resting on a piece of cardboard. A ten cent camel hair brush, cut through the ferrule, is leaned at an angle of about 45 Degrees against the pick up shell directly in front of the needle and cemented there.
An ordinary commercial radioactive capsule can then be cemented between the brush and the needle.
The brush sweeps each record clean of dust as it is being played. No static charge is built up because the surrounding air is ionized by the action of the radioactive capsule. the weight of the brush and capsule is not enough to affect the action of the pickup arm.
