Bbrich Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi, I guess this has been discussed before but I would be very grateful to hear any members advice on the best way to clean up records. Picked up a few that look like they have years of built up dust/dirt etc... (not scratches/marks) and advice on google seems varied and contradictory. any advice including recommended products would be gratefully received.

Frankie Crocker Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Mr Sheen. Then a few plays, cleaning the stylus carefully with a fine brush. Lots of advice kicking around but avoid solvents if the records are styrene. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
