This is my first post here and I must say that this is my first "vinyl experience".
I just repair (uhummm....) the turntable i got from a friend as a present (Toshiba S-100, its also a tuner and a tape player), the drive belt was broken, so i bought a new one and replace it (intuitivelly).

Its working fine, but i need the best signal to noise ratio i could get, without expendig USD$1400 on a cleaning machine, i know this has been discussed here, but i need step by step instruccions, 'cause im afraid to screw the records up and i also need to know how to clean up the needle.

Thanks in advance.
