Maintenance

1. Cleaning

  • Dust Cover: Clean the dust cover with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Turntable Chassis: Wipe the wooden chassis with a dry, soft cloth.
  • Stylus: Use a specialized stylus cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris from the stylus tip. Always brush from back to front.
