Maybe my house is prone to dust or maybe the laserdisc player is a dust magnet. Now I'm not saying it's a ridiculous amount of dust. It's just dust I am able to wipe off the inside of the player. I treat the laserdisc player as if it was my own child. I care for it's health. Am I crazy? I view it as my baby.

Possibly a hobby that is exercise oriented or other than devices/worldly possessions.

You should only open up a player if it's absolutely necessary. I do open my players quite a bit but only because I work on AC3 mods or if the player is broken & it obviously needs to be worked on (never felt a need to clean a player unless it started out really grimy). If you are so OCD about your player breaking down, you pretty much need to do what a majority of us do to keep our collections viewable and that is to acquire as many back up players as you can. God knows my wife is pissed @ me now for having accumulated 14 players .

alcohol will possibly cause damage, can sometimes remove types of paint etc. some of these things are printed with inks that are alcohol based and you can remove stuff, not fun. Also could leave a foggy film on some plastics. I remember reading a post from another ocd that took alcohol to their LD-S9 that has the fuzzy flocked on the tray, took it all off then tried to find another tray to fix their mistake.

I think we can say for sure, is it worth the risk? Better try on a small area first to see if it affects the plastic and go on from there. In the end, you are all on your own if the cleaning fails.

My 97 has a pretty disgusting looking tray so I have been considering getting a new tray or even see if there is a procedure to re-coat it.
