My wife done something similar to my Goldring 1042 which at the time was a very expensive purchas for me. One day I noticed a bit of yellow duster fluff hanging off the cantilever. Closer inspection revealed that it was hanging off to one side. The turntable was wonderfully free of dust however, something to be positive about at the time.

I was a repair engineer early in my life - you’d be amazed how common this was. If you didn’t get power off quickly it’ll generally eat straight the PCB tracks and component legs. We had plastic gloves and a pack of servisol foam cleaner out the back of the workshop - generally the van drivers delivering faulty kit already knew which items were piss infected & dumped them by the door
Had a kid piss in my tool case. Littlebastard.com

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I've never really 'binned' anything: speakers, amplifiers, turntables, arms or cartridges. If there has been something I no longer had any use for, I have either sold them on, or given them away.
The only things I have discarded, but with the intention of using parts to build something better were: a Collaro 2020 turntable (a sort of "poor man's" Garrard 301), but I saved the (substantial) motor; and a pair of home-built Mullard 5-10 amplifiers, but I kept the Parmeko transformers.

Bought my first Ortofon 2m Black cart and spent over £500 and thought keeping the stylus guard on was the best option. Went to use removed the guard and found the cantilever bent due to wrongly fixing the guard in the first place . So thought easy to straighten, bugger snapped new stylus required
