How do I clean my Technics 1210?

Technics make a fantastic bunch of turntables….The cloth I use is a small microfiber cloth that won’t scratch the plastic.

1. Mix your warm soapy water.
2. Wet soft cloth in water and wring out all water possible so the rag is moist but will not drip, even when squeezed.
3. Wipe the top of the dust cover to remove dust.
