Magnetized Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I bought this from Kung Fu and it arrived nicely packaged just a few days later. $15 + shipping, but I bought a couple other things as well, so I don't remember what the actual shipping was for just the one item. This was after having bought two of them at the DC show, then leaving them in my car to warp beyond any possibility of repair. Just a warning to anyone who's as careless as I am. If anyone wants to try to repair two very warped records, let me know. I'll mail them to you and if you fix them we can resell them as "special restored limited edition vinyl" copies!

Analogman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 You are old. You should know how to fix warped record albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 You are old. You should know how to fix warped record albums. I know--bake 'em in the oven between 2 pieces of glass, right? No thanks. I'll send 'em to you or Lou, though, if you care to take a crack at this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I have not done that in a couple of decades. I think you need a gas oven. I don't have one of those. Maybe you could Jeff to sign them - he may get a kick out of the shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I had a college student working for me a few years back that had a purse made out of a warped record album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So I guess there's 1,998 viable copies of this now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If the warp or warps are not too bad, this method worked for me (on a Melvins record that had the cartridge jump off the record in a couple spots): Take a half dozen or more 12" x 12" floor tiles and put them on the record against the floor. I left it like that for at least six months and it worked out well. Well enough to play sounding fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yikes! I left mine in the car for a day, and was worried about it warping so I stacked a bunch of heavy stuff on top of it to keep it flat- seems to have worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
