Re: Removing the spindle G.E. Trimline 500

It is not defective. I wanted to lubricate and clean the changer mechanism but do not know how to get it removed from the player to get to the underside. Also i can't find the model number anywhere. Is it just Trimline 500?

Model Nomber

Is there a model number anywhere on a G.E. Trimline 500 record player? I can not find one anywhere on the player. Is there a good place to get parts for it?

Cleaning 45's

What is the best way to clean 45's. We got some at a yard sale and some of them have what looks like something spilled on them maybe milk. There is a residue on them that you can scrape off with your fingernail. Is there anything I can use without buying an elaborate cleaning kit?
