Hello Gents

Thanks for your kind replies

@ Gene

3M Company is well-established here in ZA. I already exclusively use their automotive abrasives. I will call them asap as I'm sure the product must be available here.

Thanks for the interesting tip.

@Gene: what kind of record-puck do you use in your Beogram 4004?

Regards

I'm not sure what you mean by "record-puck". If you mean the device to stabilize records that is pictured in my "avatar", it is a Audio-Technica AT-618. I don't use it at all, it came with the 4004 when I purchased it.

Thanks Gene, that was exactly what i'm asking for.

Best regards

Discovered that the four last posters have a Beogram 4000-series as their (our) avatar 😎

It makes me proud to be in such good company. I think the Beogram 4000 series turntables are the most striking instruments to pass through the hallowed doorways of Bang & Olufsen.

Did you know that the 4000, 4002 and 6000 Quad are in the permanent collection of MoMa in New York?

In France, Gomme Magique Mr Propre!

Personally, I use Mr Clean Classic with à toothbrush, then I oil (Mobil One) the surface before wiping it dry. This gives a perfect finish, like new.
