"must have" accessories for TT and LP?


LIke many others I am ready to take the plunge back into vinyl. In scanning the posts it seems that there should be a list of what you veterans whould consider as essential equipment to tune and maintain a TT and record collection. What would you folks suggest for the items on such a list?

Record Research Labs cleaning fluids - They don't require rinse cycles, and thus don't leave behind a film that requires additional work (rinsing) to remove. It also doesn't leave behind a sonic signature as most fluids do.

Record Research Labs LP#9 - Works wonderfully and is a bargain, considering I've had the same bottle for 4 years.

Record Vacuum cleaner - Beit the top of the line VPI 17.0 or the Record Doctor from Audio Advisor, record cleaning machines help you gently and effectively clean your records. I have the VPI 16.5 for the home, and the Record Doctor at the lake cabin. Both do a great job.

And of course all the other goodies mentioned above. I picked up 7 very nice microscopes at a local college auction sale on a pallet for $40, which is less than you'd pay for one good unit. The other 6 microscopes were given to other audio friends as gifts.

Regarding the torpedo level, it seems that I'd bought one from McMaster-Carr for less than $20 about 5 years ago. They may be a great place to find a quality level at a reasonable price?
Yes of course the only product that really works:A.R.T. TR-30 SQUALAN OIL[http://www.arthifi.it/ENG_tr30.htm]
The AR turntable, anyone know how to remotor? Recently bought the TT mentioned above. Was made in 84 and appears to have a motor going out. A friend of mine has a very similar model and year and his makes the same grating noise which emanates from the motor with no belt attached. Must be their time to go. I can't figure out how to take the pulley off of the motor shaft. The motor in below the deck and the pulley is above. This has to come apart to replace the motor. It appears that the pulley has some glue attaching it to the shaft. There does not seem to be any set screws or clips of any kind. Would love to hear from anyone who has done this. Thanks,
Bill
Record Research Products are the best product out there. They are a real bargain and very easy to use. Consistently maintains very high quality control standards. Best products for maintaining vinyl, without question, hands down, etc.,etc.,etc.
1 forget the wall mount shelf until you decide which table
2 record cleaning machine if in budget, especially if buying used
3 record cleaning anti static brush before each use
4 stylus cleaning brush to keep micro bits from clinging to diamond
5 make certain that you have an after market cable for virtually any table/arm on the market...this is a must, without it you will not get all the sonics the cartridge is delivering
6 some type of sweep record like the Cardas Sweep Record
7 cartridge set up device if in the budget especially if you don't have a competent set up person. The device will align the cartridge to the arm and allow proper tracking
8 cartridge tracking force gauge, simple or digital sophisticated also required if you don't have a set up person
9 Records that don't have humps, bumps, out of centre wows and scratches and too many pops & ticks
10 a proper level, a level table is makes a good table great
11 speed control device, the Cardas Sweep will check this
12 clean ears
13 quiet room

Enjoy the music!
