Do you have a record vacuum? If so, search out Chisto record cleaning concentrate. It should be called “static be gone” but Chisto works too- it means “clean” in Ukranian.You're not helping matters with those big ass bolts
It's the bees knees! The sound is so great and clear. And i'm sure it will sound even better once i figure out why the records become static during playback *shakes fist at turntable*
