Hi all

I have a Sondek that I bought in 1983. It is fitted with an Ittok LVII arm and Asak cartridge (retipped by van den Hul in the early nineties). The cartridge is probably well past its best. Any suggestions for a replacement? As budget-friendly as possible.

It was last serviced by a dealer in the late nineties. For the last decade it's been sitting inside it's box, with a piece of packing material underneath the sub-platter and the platter stored separately. It's now time to spin some platters again. What should I do before putting it back into service? I'm especially worried about the bearing oil, which I want to replace. But with what? Or should I just take it to a dealer, and take the hit to my wallet?
