Got the XIV back in shape. Thanks Dennis and Brian for helping out with the parts!
I went with a replacement nickel tonearm, replaced balance springs on the reproducer and added new gaskets.
Cabinet: Goop and 0000, followed by Howards RAF.
Overhauled 3 spring motor and added lithium moly grease.
Replaced cabinet knobs and polished tonearm with 0000.
