Analog Care Techniques and Tricks
What's up everyone,
Just wanted to start a thread to gather everyone's little formulas, tricks, & techniques
on record and stylus cleaning, tools of the trade, and gear maintenance care, i.e. lubes for bearings, tools for dirty contacts, etc.....
It would be great to focus on inventive budget alternatives or reasonably priced retail solutions.
Wanted to ask:
What is a good way to clean a record and stylus? There are so many different tools and theories. I think i'm going to invest in a carbon fiber brush, over my Discwasher brush because it is not doing the job.
What is a good home made liquid solution for cleaning records? I think mine was at times
making the records worse.
I heard you should never use alcohol on 78's because they are shellac, is that true?
Thanks ahead for any info.
