Mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. A
light shelf or turntable support (such as our
own) screwed to a wall or in an alcove is ideal.
Avoid mounting on hollow or heavy cabinets or
anything mounted on a wooden floor.
Try to keep the lid closed while playing the records. This will prevent dust falling on to
the records and make cleaning unnecessary. There may also be a sonic improvement.
Don’t use any record cleaner that works while the record is playing or
any cleaners that use water or solvents. If you keep your records stored
in their sleeves, avoid touching the playing surfaces, play with the lid
down and
keep
all
water
and
fluids
away,
cleaning should not be nec-
essary. Don’t worry about visible dust on the record surface, this is
brushed aside by the stylus and any that collects on the stylus can be
easily blown away. In general, record cleaning is overdone and one
should not believe all the claims made by record cleaner manufacturers.
Leave the turntable running during a
record playing session. Switch on
before the session and only switch off
after you have finished.
Don’t lift the centre hub out from the main bearing. The bearing is fac-
tory assembled with a film of special thick lubricant. If the centre hub is
removed this film may be disturbed.
