I recall that the manual said lighter fluid, but Mike P also said rubbing alcohol. I guess there are options!
Oscar, I think the WTL tables are great, and happy to get someone started down the vinyl road. He's a student that has discovered 1000s of records in his university library to enjoy. Here in SF, the library LPs are so worn and scratched I wouldn't even think about it.
Yes, I did recall the lighter fluid method from the early 90's, so once again, this information should prove worthwhile for others later on, once they need to clean up the mess said fluids can cause.
Yes............, I've always came back to the WTL tables after trying two vintages of Linn LP12's, along with a few upscale Rega's, but to my way of thinking, there's something about the sonic of these tables that seem to take a great deal more cash to beat, and I love the fact there's very little in them that wears out. And I don't do anything besides Japanese imports for used jazz LPs, and more often then not, these are in true NM/Mint condition, never was much into scratched up records touching my platter.
Once again, much thanks.
