Stylus cleaner

This one is widely available and works well. You will have to remove the clear plastic guard

Microscope

Here is a copy of my earlier post with a link which I hope works. If it does not work just copy the description into the search description on e-bay:

Use magic eraser followed by a soft brush back to front. Inspect occasionally with something like this:

Pocket-Mini-60X-LED-UV-Light-Jeweler-Loupe-Magnifying-Magnifier-Glass-Microscope

No relation to seller. I have one of these and it is great to check and see if your stylus is clean.

There are plenty of threads on magic eraser here at Audiogon.

Best - by far - is AT-637

Magic Eraser; I’ve tried many others and this works best and is cost effective. Just a couple of up down and ups onto the surface with the cue lever (no hands on the tonearm needed!) and all is clean and ready to go. Sodium hydroxide is the ingredient in the material that helps clean the stylus.

Thanks Jim & folkfreak for the links...and thanks guys for the continued input, much appreciated.
