Dead common, get one from Maplins or eBay. I found mine shed some fibres at first, but now that it&#39;s broken in it works faultlessly. A Watts dustbug comes a close second, but if your Beogram has a low profile lid then you&#39;ll have to custom make a pivot for it.</p><p>General light removal of fluff off the stylus - I use the little brush that came with my Soundsmith cartridge. Looks like its carbon fibre too. Watts made a stylus cleaner, works great but can leave a fibre or two caught on the cantilever stem. (Google Cecil Watts and you run down a pdf of a pamphlet he wrote on the care and cleaning of records and styli.) Avoid those miniature toothbrush things that are included with record cleaning pads - too harsh.<br /></p><p>Embedded fine dust removal, for those disks that haven&#39;t been played for 20 years - I use a Knosti washer, using distilled water with a few drops of photographic wetting agent. Wash again with pure distilled water to rinse, and leave to drip dry.</p><p>Encrusted muck removal off stylus, if you have played a record that has been anti static &quot;treated&quot; - same stylus brush again, but dampened (NOT wetted!) with distilled water. And patience.<br /></p><p>Horror story serious muck removal off the disk, for those Oxfam bargains - the Knosti again, using the cleaning fluid that came with it. Contrary to the blurb it does leave a deposit (according to my stylus) so follow up with a distilled water rinsing.</p><p>Worse than that? Be careful, a frisbeed LP can be dangerous if it hits someone! <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /></p><p>Cheers, Steve&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/95425.aspxSun, 09 Mar 2008 09:04:35 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:95425Craig0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/95425.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=95425<p>This is a good one, I own one myself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Knosti-Disco-Antistat-Record-Cleaning-Machine_W0QQitemZ280205733285QQihZ018QQcategoryZ48648QQcmdZViewItem" title="Record Cleaner">Record Cleaner</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/95422.aspxSun, 09 Mar 2008 08:38:32 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:95422rfc10https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/95422.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=95422<p>Can anyone reccomend a record groove cleaner/static remover&nbsp;and stylus cleaner/static remover&nbsp; , </p><p>thanks Sandy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
