I wouldn't use Murphy's. I'd go with the non-pumice variety of the hand cleaner GOOP, as many others have done. However, this is my favorite choice! https://www.hfstaples.com/shop/wood-cleaner/

However..... the tone arm mount is broken. I wired it together until I can get a replacement. Do I need a Credenza specific mount or is there another that's compatible?
Would it be possible to repair the broken tone arm bracket with some JB Weld? If you have all the pieces, it might at least be worth a try.

Meant to say GOJO, but GOOP is about the same thing I suppose, so long as it has no pumice in it.

Never gave that a thought but yes I have used JB weld many times and that just might work. Same me some serious $ too.

About an hour ago I applied Gojo to the one side, let it sit for five minutes and wiped it off. I believe a coat of wax is all I need now and it will be good to go. Thanks everyone.
