Illuminati (1st Degree)

Welcome to vinyle,
I clean my records with excellent results using the disc doctor cleaner and brushes. Cheap and work great, really opens up the midrange even on albums I thought were clean. for the stylus, go to the supermarkets cleaning section and spend 2.00 bucks or so on a "Mr Clean Magic Eraser"
get the all white ones, not the ones with the blue side. Forget the instructions that come with it, you will not be using it in that fashion. Take one of the two erasers out and lay it down like a loaf of bread. Slice off a slice about 1/4 of an inch thick. I use sissors. Stick a small wooden toothhpick in it for a handle. Holding it by the tooth pick,raise the pad up to your stylus carefully until the stylus is buried in it, and carefully and slowly pull it straight down, and repeat. I do this with the arm in its mount, and I use a small brush to dust it before and after the Mr clean treatment. agreat brush can be made from the appropriate size painters brush cut down to 1/2 inch long bristles, and cutting the handle off short. I realize all this sounds like a crock, but under the microscope the stylus is bone clean! So reliable is the proceedure I have all but quit using the scope to look, its always the same. Two bucks gives years of use!

Party on,
Russellc
