Hi Gurus,
Does anyone have experience in cleaning platters from this model?
Heads have some contamination and one is missing, however I'm not sure how critical is alignment on this model, therefore I'm looking for some guidance

If I remember right, these are sensitive to alignment.
Anyhow, to me this kind of contamination + missing slider (ergo, impact), I wouldn't expect much from this project...

I can do it probably, but in that case i strongly want the platter stack in its original state.
