We discussed this last year, I think. Some feel that letting the machine run down after every use just adds wear to the mechanism. Others disputed the idea that a wound up spring can develop a "set" to it after a long period. I don't know what you call a long period of non-use. I have restored phonos that have been sitting in attics for over 50 years and found many to have a viable spring after all that time. I don't know if this will be helpful or not. Dave Dazer

I know that there are several thoughts on this, but what is the best practice?
