Record Flattening Service

[MikeHump 10]

Hello all

I've a couple of vinyl 45's that have warps. Nothing sharp - just slow ups and downs.

I've seen all the DIY suggestions but I wondered if anyone has used/has feedback one (of the several) people who offer a 

flattening and cleaning service? I'd say it was 4-5mm across each disc.

Lynn Johnson -Wicked Woman and June Bateman - Possum Belly Overalls, not mega valuable but worth a go?

Any thoughts welcomed.

Not sure whether he does this for other people but Mr Manship has a tried and tested (not always successful) method ...

it's a bit of a 'snake oil' thing this fixing warped records, (not referring to JM video which is enjoyable), nothing really works short of storing your records properly

[MikeHump 10]

I've only ever tried it myself on market stall bits where I wasn't bothered about the outcome.

Have to say none of the DIY methods have ever worked for me. I'll have a look at what Mr M says.

fully insured in case of additional damage to valuable soul 45's? or at buyer risk? no idea of course just asking

Fascinating!

A bit like "micro-groove-surgery", I would have thought the record would need to worth a fair sum to warrant the type of workmanship offered by VPR.

Both won't work on the 45s if it would cause more damage. Really professional and lots of experience.

I used a guy on eBay - cost me a tenner - worked a treat ! 

If I can find the link I’ll put it up - am sure he was in Lincs somewhere

eBay member 21stcenturyobjects offers this service, can’t vouch for the service but 100% feedback, £7 per record

an age old problem...

not suggesting you try this. from 1981.

[MikeHump 10]

Thanks for the feedback. I've taken the plunge and sent them off.

By chance it was to 21stcenturyobjects too.

When they come back i'll let you know the result.
