How to clean the tiny holes of air bearing tonearm

Should the ab arm be used in conjuction with a oil bath compressor , the most likely reason the air release spindle/manifold is clogged is due to thick oil deposits. Should the air bearing platter be connected to the arm than the platter may also have hard deposits from the oil compounds.

The most effective (and messy) way to remove the gunk is to disassemble the arm and/or turntable and rinse out the deposits with ISO Alcohol(outdoors) and air dry. Safety gear a must and precautions against fire/explosion required.

I have owned air bearing arms for nearly twenty years and I know of no other way to completely remove the deposits.

Joeylawn3611, Iso Alcohol can be quite explosive when used indoors near open flame (water heaters and furnaces)in quanities a couple pints or maybe more for the dousing of parts. Should you have any questions, contact your local EPA office or Fire Department for further information. All the Best.

J: I don't wish to be drawn into a debate but the EPA considers Iso to be a poison. The EPA states that long term use without precautions can destroy lungs. At least that what the EPA says. Why argue with the EPA ?

Gosh , Sometimes I actually think I'm the only one that spent 30 years understanding air bearing record playing machines. That scares the shit out of me ...(sorry). Where are the others? Or, Am I the only A-- is the universe??? If I am ...
