Thank all of you for your help. I used q-tips diped in carb and choke cleaner made by thr Gumout corp. Also I found that pipe cleaners worked very good in tight areas. Looks like brand new almost. Bearings feel smooth with no play. Again thank you all. The other film on it besides the dust I think was nicotine as the guy I got it from is a heavy smoker. It came right off too.
Cleaning a old tonearm
Hi, A friend gave me an old Grace 727 tonearm and it is very dusty and dirty from sitting out in the open. My question is how and what should I use to clean it. I do not want to mess with dissasembleing the bearings. The dust seems to stuck to it and will need some type of cleaner. Or is this a lost cuase? Thanks in advance.
