Stylus stuck in groove.


Has anyone developed a stratagem on how to deal with the stylus stuck in groove problem? I’ve tried to get rid of the shmutz using an ultrasonic record cleaner. It seldom works. I’ve also tried the toothpick or fingernail solution but I’m afraid of damaging the record.
I’d love to know how it gets deposited on an otherwise pristine sounding record in the first place.
How does it get there??

@ghdprentice I'm not sure my Laptop Speaker will do the Virtual System Demonstration Justice.

I would be more trusting in my assessment of the aesthetic and critique of the mounting methods adopted for the system.

Hi Neil, Thank You for this continued support and the producing a update to the already very good source of information.

I recently met a lady who specialises in conservation of artifacts at the Museum of London, we had a great Pow Wow on the subject of Cleaning Solutions and the required disciplines. The info taught from the PAVCR helped me hold my own in such a company.
