dish soap diluted in water and a soft toothbrush and brush in the direction of the grooves all around the surface,rinse with tap water and dry with a terry face cloth.It may take 2-3 attempts but should work.Never use a pin!

[Phono-L] Paint flecks on a Blue Amberol

A friend just called me and asked if I knew of a way to get paint flecks off a
Blue Amberol cylinder, without damaging it.
I was thinking a pin or needle using a magnifying glass to gently dig the
flecks out?
Playing the cylinder the correct Diamond B reproducer might dislodge some of
the flecks, but might not be good for the stylus.
I asked if the paint was oil based, and he said he did NOT think it was and
thought it was plain "house paint."
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dennis
