VI. GENERAL MAINTAINANCE
1. Cleaning of Woodwork
A soft paintbrush or soft cloth is useful for regular dusting. The turntable finish is of
varnished wood which should be cleaned with standard furniture polish and the glass
can best be cleaned with a cloth moistened with pure alcohol or other glass cleaning
products.
Should oil be spilled on wooden surfaces, remove excess with cloth and then gently
rub with clean cloth until mark disappears. Should a stain remain, rub gently with
cloth dampened in alcohol.
2. Cleaning Pulley and Belt
This should be done occasionally (6 months) according to regularity of use.
a) Remove platter to gain access to pulleys. Remove belt. Switch on turntable and
using cotton bud moistened with alcohol, clean grooves of motor pulley by pressing
bud into groove as it rotates.
b) Clean subplatter as above, but rotate subplatter by hand.
c) Moisten cloth with pure alcohol and pull belt through cloth to clean (ensure that
hands are clean and grease free).
d) Replace belt and platter.
3. Tightening Screws on Armboard
With a new turntable it may be necessary to tighten the bolts which fix armboard to
subchassis and those which hold tonearm to armboard after the first few months of
use. This is due to settling in of wood.
NOTE: Do not tighten overenthusiastically.
