MAINTENANCE
Stylus
Before playing a record, clean the stylus with a soft brush. Brush
the stylus from back to front. Never attempt to clean the stylus with
your finger tip. If a fluid stylus cleaner is used, make sure not to
moisten the stylus too much.
Cabinet
Clean the cabinet and dust cover periodically with a soft dry cloth.
If
the stains are difficult to remove, use a cloth moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents such as alcohol, ben¬
zine or thinner, since they will damage the finish.
Rubber mat
When the rubber mat becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with water.
Lubrication
The turntable requires no periodic lubrication. The motor shaft is
lubricated at the factory for the life of the turntable.
