  The MK-

4’s dust cover and acrylic chassis may be cleaned with glass cleaner.  Do 

not use solvents, abrasives, or other glass cleaners of any sort.  Make sure not to 
drip any cleaning solution on the turntable or its base. 

 

  The platter should be kept scrupulously clean so that no dirt is transferred to the 

record being played.  

Windex ™ is the best cleaner we have found.   Note:  any 

cleaner must be completely dried off before placing a record on the platter.  Be sure 
to use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe with. 

 

  The natural finish wood base has a hard lacquer finish.  No care is needed beyond a 

periodic dusting with a clean, soft cloth.  The piano black finish base may be cleaned 
only with Windex ™.  Do not use solvents, abrasives, or other cleaners of any sort.
