Original Elite Rock Turntable & Excalibur Tonearm

Hello Everyone,

I am almost ready to purchase a new phono cartridge for the Excalibur Arm. However, I don't have the manual for this particular arm. I am sure I have the Original Elite Rock Turntable that came with this tonearm. I purchased this turntable with tonearm back in 1983 after a visit to England. I did not get manuals at that time since I purchased the turntable as a store demo. The turntable has been in storage. I have purchased a new belt and fluid for the bearing and trough. Everything is ready to go.

Since I will need to set tracking force, align the cartridge, etc, it will be difficult without the owners manual in order to properly adjust the tonearm. Can anyone help or guide me to where I might be able to get this information? Thanks for all input.

Before I forget,

Does anyone have any suggestions what I can use to clean oily fingerprints from the turntable? I would not think of attempting to play a record until the turntable is clean.

Also, is there a record hold-down that can be used for this turntable? Thanks much for all responses.

the best thing to clean silicone oil off with is, unfortunately , brake cleaning fluid. You can also try isopropyl alcohol
