Gents and ladies,
Hope you are all well who take the time to read my message.

Ive a RX-C300 since its birth. It’s in need of some belts and just a general cleaning inside. Physically its near mint and it works just fine (the belts just went only a couple months ago and they were the original ones) but there is dust in the balance slider and inside.

I know there are some contact cleaners but would any of you cats recommend one for this type of maintenance?

As for the dust internally, do you recommend a typical can of compressed air? Is there one better than the other? I know its air but worth it to ask. :-/

Any “gotchas” when opening up the unit? The screws seem pretty simple but is there some weird “push in and slide up” type tips I may need to know? Are the belts difficult to get to ?

Rather than send it to a local shop, i think I can just replace the belts and clean up the unit myself since it works fine otherwise.

Thank you all for any info.

Welcome aboard! I know that member oldskool69 has one of these. Maybe he will chime in with some tips regarding the RX-C300.

As for contact cleaner, a quick search would give you many posts of people asking the same question, but most here use DeOxit contact cleaner.
