Denon DP-60L touch up

[kmulkey]

I picked up a DP-60L about 5 months ago. Works perfect and everything on it is in great shape, given its age, but there is some "shading" (I hesitate to call it staining) on the tonearm tube, the headshell, and the metal ring around the platter, just the metal parts. It's nothing horrible but I'd like to try to clean it up a bit.
Maybe it's from cigarette smoke? What can I clean this with? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Metal polish I assume, from a tube or the impregnated "Duraglit", rgds, sreten.

If its just nicotine staining then a good clean, not polish will work.
Impregnated household cleaning wipes will do a good job.

If you think it is from cigarette smoke, try isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel.

To some people he was.........

Methylated spirit will also do it and bog standard face wipes.

In the US, a product called Krud Kutter does an amazing job of cleaning anything grungy.
