vinyl flat

Record store owner I know tested this unit out on several records. Said it works great.

Looks cool!! I've never played a joint so much that it warped, but nice to know there are options.

In this 100 degree F weather, you can take two glass table tops and put the vinyl in between and let the sun bake it for 10 min.

I always heard about similar stuff to this, does it actually work well? I mean anything is better then the warped record as long as it is somewhat usable after but does it **** up the imperfections in the groove at all?

looks legit to me!

two pieces of very heavy, tempered glass will work just as well.

take note - records take heat very very easily (hopefully you know this if you are here). use very very low temperature and it only takes about a minute or two to really get it where you can flatten it.

id even recommend trying it first with a record you don't care about. you wont believe how flimsy they get so fast.

i've fixed dozens of warped records. all you need to do is place the record in a tightly-packed crate, or place between two flat surfaces with a little pressure, for two weeks. you do not need to use any heat whatsoever.

as for paying money for that device...well, one is born every minute.
