The LP12 is designed for a long operational life. To preserve the appearance and
maintain the performance of your deck, you should note the following points.
PLINTH
The plinth is constructed from solid kiln-dried hardwood and should not
therefore be subjected to extremes of temperature or direct sunlight. Some finishes
will darken slightly with age. A damp cloth is ideal for cleaning dust or stains from
the plinth; polish, particularly wax-based can be hard to remove from the grooves.
PLA
TTER The platter will darken with age. Resist the temptation to repolish the rim,
as this removes the protective lacquer and results in a rapid degredation of the finish.
Clean with a dry, soft cloth. DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANER.
MA
T The felt mat can be cleaned with masking tape. If the mat becomes really dusty
you can beat it like a carpet or rug. If you have problem with static and the mat clings
to your records, you can use some double-sided tape to secure it.
MOTOR
The motor pulley should be cleaned periodically to remove deposits of rubber
shed by the belt. Remove the outer platter and belt, and gently apply a damp cloth
(impregnated with isopropyl alcohol or other non-residue solvents) against rotating
motor pulley until clean.
ST
AINLESS STEEL TOP PLATE This is best cleaned with a damp cloth.
ARMBOARD This can be cleaned with a light duster or slightly damp tissue - make
sure the stylus guard is in place before you start.
BEL
T The belt should last for at least five years of regular use. The belt can be
cleaned by pulling it through a damp cloth.
OIL
The oil supplied for the bearing provides life-long protection. If oil is lost from
the bearing housing, it should be replaced by factory-supplied oil (available from
your dealer). The turntable should never be operated without oil.
LID
The best method is to remove any dust with a damp cloth without any
rubbing action and then use a soft duster. Lids are more often damaged in cleaning
than in use.
