mhardy,
Thank you for the input on the Brasso Cream.
I've used Brasso Metal Clean solution before on the brass tuning slides of my trumpet, and it did a wonderful job in cleaning up the metal. However, it later oxidized in the worst way - turned the metal black.
I did find the Vinyle Engine site, but they don't have the 698. Only 598.

- Brasso will do that because there's acid in it to speed up the deoxidizing process. - The Real Dick Hertz 14:13:26 06/03/09

Try something like Flitz that has jeweler's rouge in it instead.

Thank you for the input.
After washing some of the parts in a light detergent I went to use a Blitz silver polishing cloth intended for silver trumpets, but a warning label advised not to use on lacquered metal - which the 698 appeared to be. So I went with Blitz Gloss Care cloth from the music store. Seemed to work very well. Attached is a pic.
Now the task of setting up the arm.
Not sure if I'll ever use the table, but it sure is nice just to look at.
On a side note, thank you MedicMike for a copy of the manual.
