Any Warp correction LP services available ?

I am aware that there is a record warp flattening system being marketed for about two thousand bucks.I've tried to get my "El Cheapo" audio pals to chip in for it,so we can all benefit,with the occassional warped "Rare Gem" that can be so difficult to replace in perfect shape.No such luck!They'd rather spend 300 bucks for a signed copy of Ida Haendl doing the Sibelius!!

Does anyone know of a reliable "vendor" that might offer a per LP service,to have this done to our beloved,yet slightly warped records.I,for one, would love to see this offered by people like Accoustic Sounds,or The Elusive Disc.

How about it?

Albert,based on the pics of your room/home and system tastes I'd have to volunteer you to "go For It",and report back.Me?Well I just finished paying off Rutgers U. with their last payments,for my 2 kids.Whew!!I,also just "Blew" a load on some ultra pricey CCa's for my phonostage,and would like to take a summer vacation.I would totally trust your report,but,make sure you follow up the tubed crossover,as promised,ASAP!!Best of luck!!

So,again I pose the question of why not a vendor doing it "RIGHT",with a supposedly "proven" product,like the Symphonic Line(I think it's them)disc flattener.Two THOU is bucks!!

I don't want to experiment!!I would like to be confident that the process would work!!I,also have some pricey discs,not cheap either,that I know will be very hard to replace.Can't see myself shipping LP's to CELLO,and asking him to spend the 4 hr cycle time on each,
where he'd also be adding heat to his already "HOT" Florida "digs".Is it cooler where you live Albert?

I have a vacuum table,that takes just about everything thrown at it,but there are the occassional discs that can't be handled.

Truthfully,though,it is an expensive proposition for a unit,and a smart businessman with some spare time could turn a buck or two!!
