how do you fix warped records?

By Alphawolf Sun Feb 25, 2007 10:46 pm
put your record player on the balcony on a warm day.... put the warped record on it
.... plug in the cable and let the record spin in the sun for a while (dont put the needle on it!!!!) you'll see the "warping" will flatten then let it cool of inside...then put it back in the cover and put some books on it... that should do...

Yo it really depends on how warped the record is. If you can avoid putting any direct presure on it, that the best way, but it wont for extremely warped records. In that case I'd used e.d.e.s method.

BTW what i do, is I have this old drop light (like mechanis use) and i put the record on the table, let it spin while the lamp (which heats up the area considerably) point about a foot away from the record.


Whatever method you use, I reccomend cleaning you're vinyl first, so as not cause AS MUCH permanent damage to the record.

This works. Try it using a turntable you don't really use and a record you dont like first and fine tune till you trust it with your good records.
