http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1217254356&read&keyw&zzwarped it seems this thread covers everything there is to know. I have no experience with it, I only recalled seeing it when trying to decide what to do with my own warp issue. If that's not helpful, then maybe someone else will chime in . . . |
I purchased 2 granite tiles at home depot over the weekend and plan to try to flatten a Ron Carter LP I bought used which has a terrible warp in track 1 and won't play. I'm going to try the procedure in the posted thread in the next day or so. I'll let you know the results. If it works, I have a few others - one of which is my new Portishead 3 that while it plays, is a little hard to track. |
I flattened my Ron Carter LP today. I used 2 12x12 granite tiles purchased from home depot ($5.49 each). One side is polished, the other rough. I pre-heated my oven to 200 degrees F. I Sandwiched the LP between the tiles and I used no fasteners or anything else. The LP was directly in contact with the tile. I placed the "sandwich" in the oven and turned the oven off. I came back about 5 hours later and removed the LP, cleaned it, and played it. The warp was really bad before, so bad it was in trackable. Now the LP is completely flat. I see no other adverse efects from the procedure. |
