I just bought a Technics 1200 mk 2 turn table and want to get it up and running fast. It "works" but nothing I do can get the Right channel to work consistently. It has been sitting in a flight case for about 10 years and I assume needs some cleaning and lubrication. The tone arm assembly looks a bit daunting so I'd rather not disassemble. I have a can of computer compressed air. So I think I'll use that to get the dust off then try some kind of oil. Should I be using a light weight oil or silicone? In addition, I need to know how to adjust the height, counter weight, and anti-skate. I don't know if it matters but I just bought an ortofon stylus (night club E) and mounted it on a DJ cartridge because I thought the stylus probably needed replacing.
Thanks.
Any advice or reference to advice would be much appreciated.
