Yes, that sounds exactly what I remember. THAT may have been the Watts Disc Preener, and I had those, but I also bought the ones with no reservoir inside, I'm drawing a blank on a name here though. The Army PX used to sell the Watts version, if memory serves correctly. Man I bought a bunch of LP's through the PX, they always had the Schwann catalog for you to look through, at least the PX's outside the US.
