  • What’s the best way of straightening warped records. I’m about to take on a stack of LPs but they’ve been stored upright in a cardboard box so all the end ones are banana shaped. Turn them all round and store them for a while facing the other way in the same box?

    Also, posted this in the hifi thread but didn’t get a response. This item was in the box with my record player. I assume it’s some kind of cleaning brush and looks like it’s weighted or counterbalanced. Where does it go / how do I use it?

  • Don’t know about correcting warped and dished records. The one I always see is putting between two sheets of glass somewhere warm - which seems logical but am sure is highly damaging.

    There are specialist machines that claim to do it - https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/cd-vinyl-maintenance/orb-df-01i-a-disc-flattener - and you’ll encounter businesses that will offer it as a service with a flat rate per Xn records.

    That device is interesting. Looks like it has a reservoir and cleaning fluid runs through the head. The reservoir section looks like it would fit into the recess for the 7” adaptor on a 1210, although that wouldn’t be much good considering how the arm is oriented.
