First of all, take the motor out of the gramophone and give it a good cleaning and oiling. This should be done periodically. When you have finished playing, never close up the machine without first letting the motor run down in order to rest the spring. A record should be left on the turntable to check the speed. Then the records want weeding out Some we have got very tired of. These will usually find a ready sale about Christmas time, or at certain shops can be exchanged for others in good condition, or will be taken in part payment for new ones. Other old favourites we don t want to part with, but they are getting rather worse for wear. These can be considerably improved, and the scratch reduced, by treatment with boot polish. Apply the polish evenly over the record, with a soft cloth, then play in the usual way. Wipe off the surplus polish, and rub with a pad of velvet Play again, and give a final burnishmir with the pad.

Records should never be stored in a damp place, and always stand them on edge. If piled flat on top of otic another, the weight gets unevenly distributed, and causes them to crack and break.

They should always be protected by a cardboard or paper cover.
