I have Ive== one of these in working order, and use it as being blind its
far easier to get the pick up on the actual record!
However in recent years its sticking both at the start, ie motor does not
push it quit far enough to go off and at the end, ie does not always pick
the pick up of. On having a feel I notice the original grease on the
tracking system is going slightly sticky. What I wondered was, is there any
way to get into the mechanism and remove the old gunge and what would one
use that might be readily available. Obviously I'd need to get sighted help
for this job, but with the Ortofon cart it is pleasing to listen to, and
indeed I am actually digitising the most often played vinyl with good
results using it and a Denon amp.

I guess getting the old stuff off is going to be the big job without
damaging things, since I doubt spare bits are around now!
