After months of posts about sinewaves, surveys about surveys and a discussion about surveys that stuffed my inbox day after day, I make one post that actually falls into the category of "care and feeding of an electronic musical instrument" and I'm the one off topic. My time here I have asked all of maybe two technical questions and one of those was answered with a polite version of "search the archives, noob."

Whatever. Enjoy your sandbox. I'm gone.

See this thread for ideas on repair:

For cleaning, I would head to your local automotive store and check out what they have for vinyl cleaning/polishing. I would not use Armor-All, nor would I use any sort of solvent that dissolves glue. I've used WD40 in the past, and it works well. It took off some paint splatters and left the tolex looking dark and shiny.

Folks,



Sorry for the off-topic post, but I thought this audience might be a



good place to ask this question. I recently managed to get hold of an



Arp 2600 in fantastic condition. It looks and sounds awesome and of



course I can't wait to integrate it with my other modular gear!. But



I'm wondering what product(s) I should use to safely treat, polish and



protect the tolex



Please reply directly as I don't really wish to dilute the list with a



long thread of off-topic discussion.



Thanks!



Kindest regards,



John
