Maintenance and care

Your record player needs no particular or permanent main- tenance.

If over the time dust has collected on the plinth or dust cover it can be wiped off with a soft, moistened cloth. HINT: a moistened cleaning tissue for glasses will do a good job here.

Refrain from using a dry cloth for cleaning be- cause this will in any case generate undesired electrostatic charges.

The Thorens precision belt should be exchanged at least every other year. If the record player is not in use for a longer time, it is advisable to remove the belt in order to prevent a premature ageing under tension.

If this record player is used very often it is recommended to have the bearing checked and lubrication renewed after about 5 years.
