My turntable being somewhat aged (physically worn but musically ok) has never been serviced aside from changing cartridges. What need I do to keep this fantastic turntable in good condition?
Thanks
Clean and lubricate the mechanics, motor bearings, carriage rails etc.Fit new belts (beoparts-shop.com) and make sure your needle is OK - if not, send it out to have it re-tip'ed.There are only a few capacitors in your deck, and it's not the deck with the most capacitor problems, but you could choose to replace the lot if you want to go all the way and counter for future capacitor problems.
Finally, run through the alignments (mentioned in the servicemanual), which shouldn't be too far off if never budged, but one or two will usually need a little attention.
