Turntable 45RPM issue

Just an update on my office turntable. I noticed the 33/45 button was sticky when it was pushed. I use some cleaner and "Q-Tip on a stick" cleaning swab and I got it un-sticky. Seems to working OK.

Bad part is it completely erased the writing around it (33/45, 12/7).

Any acetone-based solvent and even some alcohol-based solvents will erase screen print. Water to clean and a thin oil application after could have saved the printing. DIY Lesson no. 12.3. :character-oldtimer:
