As long as your receiver/amp/preamp has a phono input there should be no problem. The stylus should still be ok if it was ok when you stored it. If it is a belt drive turntable it may need a new belt.

The fabric cleaner if its like the Dishwasher brand that was popular is good for cleaning surface debris but it wont get stuff down in the grooves. You can get a carbon fibre bristle brush for about $10 that will clean the deeper stuff. If the records have mold then they cal literly be cleaned under a tub faucet and dried with a microfiber car detail brush. Most record labels are ok with being wet but some like A&M records dont like it.

What kind of turntable and cartridge is it?

 

Not sure where to start this...

Hairfarmer got me pining for my Yes albums.

It wouldn't be too hard to disconnect the DVD player and plug in the Turntable...

Here's the question...

Is there anything I need to do to the albums?  I have the old fabric cleaner thing (the one that looks just a little like a fancy chalkboard eraser)

If they have some mold (!) can I just clean them?

Is there anything I need to do to the turntable?  The needle should be okay, right?  it's been... probably over 15 years since I used it... can't even remember.
