doppelkorn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 And it worked? I've got a badly dished copy of Running in the Family (12" mix) by Level 42 which would be worth almost £2 if I undished it. Well at least I could play it.

rchecka Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've seen and tried a lot of DIY methods, this one looks much more promising. Such a simple concept, seems strange that someone only invented this just recently.80 bucks for 2 pieces of heavy metal, they are making a lot of money on that if they are the only ones that do it.

Steve Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 2ndHand used to use 2 sheets of glass and a couple of clamps, then leave it out in the sun. Same principle as this and it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least I could play it. for dished records get a pint glass full of boiling water, place the dished record concave-side-down on a hard clean flat surface, put the pint glass on top of it right in the middle, put something heavy like a cinder block on it and leave it for like a half hour. mad different methods.

scottie(the)goonie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like the sheets of glass and sunlight idea. I swear I don't even have 1 set of doubles that perform/feel the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchecka Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 2ndHand used to use 2 sheets of glass and a couple of clamps, then leave it out in the sun. Same principle as this and it worked. I tried that a couple of times, maybe I didn't wait long enough before I brought it back in, or maybe it wasn't hot enough that summer day, or maybe not sunny enough, but it didn't help. The record still plays so no harm done but there is just so many factors that effect the glass in the sunlight or oven remedies. A whole lot of guesswork. The nice thing about this product is that they did all the research on how much weight, how long in the oven, what temp, and they factored in the various record weights. I'd buy it for that information alone. Hell 80 bucks isn't that bad considering what I'd be rescuing. It woulda been nice to see a before and after shot of that record on that video though, WTF.
