Along with this fix, I tried to clean a bit of dust and grime that’s accumulated throughout the 3 decades. Some is not coming off with vacuuming or dry-wiping. Any advice on how to clean the unit up before reassembly? Mine is a gold Marantz with similar design and some of its parts are not as smooth as they should be. Thanks so much
