I cleaned the top of the phonograph this morning. While it made a huge difference, the surface isn't in very good shape. These pictures make it look a lot better than it is in reality. That being said, I'd call it 'acceptable', but I'm considering painting it. Any recommendations? Does anyone know the correct color?
Also, what is the best way to clean the platter? Again, the picture makes it look a lot better than it does in the real world.
Thanks,
Rich
