Re: My Introduction and a little help. Philips N4306/15.
I use lolly sticks with one end cut square and then chamfered, and cotton buds to remove the bulk of the goo. I then use Acetone on cotton buds to clean the pulleys (but do not use this on most plastics, as it softens them!). I squeeze the tip of the cotton bud (before soaking it in Acetone), to get right into the "V" of pulleys. For flat surfaces, I use old rags moistened in Acetone. But wear disposable gloves throughout! I also use aerosol foaming cleanser, such as Amberclens, to clean the directional "clutch" assemblies fitted under each turntable.
After reading this I think I probably could have taken a better approach and saved time TT |
