Turntable Platter Question about Bang & Olufsen Turntable?
Can anyone tell me if the Bang & Olufsen RX turntable platter is stainless steel or aluminum ? And if it is aluminum.
How do I polish it to get out the blemishes that are on the surface. What should I use etc.
Thank you
George
I own a B&O 4002 tangental tracking turntable from the mid 70's and it's aluminum. As far as polishing it, if the flaws are not serious, there's an automotive product called MOTHER's wheel polish that used to come in a small plastic can with a white screw -on lid on top. Red label. It's designed for polishing aluminum and alloy wheels. You might give it a try. The jar is maybe 3-4 ounces and I think it sold for around $4-5 and should be available at most any auto parts retailer like Pep Boys, NAPA, Auto Zone, or some place that specializes in selling custom wheels and tires.
If that doesn't get the flaws out, you may have to go to a more abrasive rubbing compound and then use the Mother's. You could also try wet sanding the surface with water. They make 3M sandpaper grits all the way down to 2000 grit(used it to polish the "haze" off my plastic headlight lens covers that dull and diminish the headlight brightness). Use a swirling circular motion when there's room. Q tips and paddled popsicle sticks work well in the tight places. If the 2000 doesn't get it done, Start over with the 1500, and if that doesn't get results, then go with the 1000 grit. The idea is to not use any rougher sanding paper than necessary. aluminum tends to clog sandpaper sheets. if money isn't an object, Permatex sells a headlight lens polishing kit with the polish and the various grits of paper and all for about $13 at most auto parts places.
You could also experiment with an assortment of Dremel tool polishing and buffing attachments. Available at Wal Mart, or any hardware store. Dremel tool and kit run about $50 unless you catch one on sale.
Above all, I'd do a quick test polish on another part of the backside of the turntable that wasn't visible to make sure there wasn't any adverse chemical reaction. If all your efforts fail, I'd go to a shop that sells auto body repair supplies to the body shops and see what they recommend for polishing aluminum.
