    Cleaning the platter mat: what is (not) correct?

    Hello! Once in a while I give a mat some gentle warm-water wash with a mild soap, then let it dry flat on a piece of paper. As a means of general TT overhaul, - is it OK to wash the mat in an US cleaner?

    Rubber mat cleaning

    Hello all The most comprehensive thread I've found discussing how to best clean and restore ancient rubber turntable mats is now over a decade old. So, I thought it might be a good idea to discuss it in a new thread, and to see if anyone had new advice. The prevailing wisdom in 2011 was cover...

    Source for Magnavox parts

    I'm new to vantage audio equipment and was looking for some advice. I just acquired a 1969 Magnavox Asto Sonic console. The original turntable mat isn't correct, so I'm wanting to change it to the original. Is there a source for original parts or do you guys just watch Ebay for parts?

    Cork/rubber mat for Dual 1257

    I have an older Dual 1257 turntable and was thinking about using a cork/rubber mat instead of the original rubber one. The original mat has raised rings. I've read a few things about this, but do you think it would be ok to trim a mat to fit? Or do I need to preserve the ring effect? The mat I...
