[78-L] Cleaning a Metal Mother

[Glenn Longwell]

As a secondary question to this I picked up 3 aluminum personal recordings this weekend.  Two Speak-O-Phones and one Marvel Voice Reproducing Record..  The Speak-O-Phones were fine but the Marvel record has oxidation on it..  Do you think lightly using a metal polish would work, like the Noxon Metal Polish?  Obviously the sound will be terrible anyway but it would be nice to remove the oxidation and try to save some of the sound.  I won't play it right now for fear of destroying my stylus.

Noxon metal cleaner with a soft brush which will get it into the grooves
(like a paint edger, available at any hardware or paint store), is  
completely
safe, in my experience.  Rinse thoroughly with distilled water.

Hi List,

I've recently obtained a Metal Mother  (I think is a copper/zinc mix,  
I am
not sure). Do you have any suggestions how to clean this?

Any help will be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Erwin
