All in one Flat panel with dvd
Yes, I was somewhat on the same page about the DVD and having to send the whole thing in for servicing if dead. I guess the best is seperates, and to save space just wall mount.I thank everyone and enjoy. 
Cleaning a old tonearm
Pryso:are you saying that after cleaning a metal tonearm using an astringent that it might not cause pitting or even "possible show signs of rust? Any lubricant no matter the viscocity will attract dust.

Cleaning a old tonearm
Dougdeacon: I recommend using the WD-40 only after the use of lighter fluid, as it is a great degrease and cleaner.My only concern is after cleaning the tonearm you could strip it of it's natural oil's. And in the near future start to pit and show... 
Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?
