Magic Eraser as Isolation Feet
Lol Elizabeth ....very funny.I actually use a Camambert as a record clamp.I'm really glad I've never cleaned my records on a cleaning machine......wouldn't want to get rid of any mould release. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The poster who said that there may be variability between samples due to aging may have hit the nail on the head.I bought two samples and in one box the staples on the little instruction booklet had rusted to the point where there was just a brown...

Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished?
Definitely the right move (imho)to keep the Sota.As far as arms go if you can find a Zeta in good condition at a fair price that's what I'd reccommend.I had one on a Sota many years ago and it was a killer combination.I often wish I'd kept that arm.
